The fragile mind.


How fragile the human mind.

That a man could deliberately crash a plane full of passengers headlong into a mountain is past all understanding. If he had been a Jahidi bent on revenge against the west one could have pieced together a reason, as crass as that would be, but what distorted the co pilots mind to such an extent that he would commit suicide in this way taking 150 people with him. 
How did he distance his own wish to die from causing so many other deaths, particularly the school children who can not be placed in any frame of reference regards the way his distorted vision of the world made him wish to depart its clutches. Marriage problems, health problems, money problems none would seem to fit a 28 year old pilot. He didn't say a word as he plunged to earth to his death, no cry for help no anguished diatribe against anyone or anything. Perhaps the investigators will dig up some dirt but they will never understand nihilism. 
To the normal mind life makes seductive promises, you are always loved, the universe is in good order, right and wrong can be known, your suffering has meaning, you have a special role and there will be justice after death.
Nihilism is the determination not to be fooled again feeling they have been swindled over and over the nihilist refuses to acknowledge the most meaningful observation lest they turn out to be illusory.
What a contrast, two heads, two worlds, we can't recognise the difference until the rational become irrational, the action determines how we are simply in the dark until the act tells all !!
