on the maguindanao massacre

the sitch is that there are two feuding political families wanting to both become dynasties, a place far from the nosy denizens of the metropolis, and that big virtue they call greed and the fact that national elections is coming. the ultimate end is to accumulate wealth for the elections, win the elections, and accumulate more money after the elections.

i don't know which university, school of thought or school of hard-knocks taught them, some people actually think wealth and power justifies one's existence. hence, the chasm every politician gets into as soon as he decides running for office. hence, the need to employ every available means to achieve wealth and power. means include killing people who should be out of the way, including and most specially nosy journalists who are after the truth.

not unknown to the world is the recent massacre of journalists in maguindanao, mindanao. this rocked the world and threatened all media practicioners. more than 12 journalists were found slaughtered unjustifiably. and for what reason? the feud between two families involved in local politics. what was the motive? still unknown.

still, the main query is if there is a need to waste all those lives? need they take the mother, brother, father, sister, friend, son and daughter of some other person? did they have to "liquidate" all of them?

i was told that a majority of the possible accused might have believed in the idea that a person's existence on earth is temporary and that it is essential to secure a good afterlife.

yeah, so? they had no right to take somebody else's life. they're not GOD! and how are they supposed to have a good afterlife if here on earth, they have foregone all possible ways to be kind and worthy of an afterlife?

what is wrong with them?
