‎”Terrorism is often confused or equated with . . . guerrilla warfare,” the terrorism theorist Bruce Hoffman once wrote. “ This is not surprising, since guerrillas often employ the same tactics (assassination, kidnapping, bombings of public gathering-places, hostage-taking, etc.) for the same purposes (to intimidate or coerce, thereby affecting behavior through the arousal of fear) as terrorists.”

-Steve Coll, Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan & Bin Laden from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001

‎What I understand about this is that conflicts arise due to a lack of understanding of humanity.

‎So what is humanity?

‎Humanity is talking about human beings.

‎When we talk about human beings, there is a sense of trust, loyalty, love, or, perhaps, compassion.

‎But it always starts with being empathetic to others because without it then it always leads to confusion.

‎The goal is always and always how we do things to make it better not to make things more complicated.

‎A human being makes a problem, a human being also gives a solution to it that works together.‎
