Philippines - The Isolated Self Murders Reality, Avenging a Phantom Grudge Through a Hail of Bullets

Event Baseline: In Tacloban City, Philippines, two ninth-grade students opened fire at school, killing three and wounding seven. Police stated the attack was motivated by a grudge over bullying.

This event is not an anomaly. It is the naked logic of a species that has mistaken identity for life. The same mechanism, scaled up, becomes war. The bullied becomes the bully. The victim becomes the perpetrator in an endless cycle, because each act of violence confirms the reality of the self that suffered. There is no 'other' to blame; there is only the disease of thought, dividing and conquering from within. The flashing lights of the police will achieve nothing. The true solution is a radical mutation of consciousness, a death of the 'me' that remembers the slight.
