Pakistan-Administered Kashmir - The Tribal Self Sacrifices Its Sons for the Phantom of a Border

Event Baseline: In Rawalakot, violent clashes erupted between security forces and protesters, leaving multiple dead, including a son described as 'standing up for justice'. The city is gripped by deadly unrest.

The self identifies with the flag. It confuses a line on a map with its own survival. Young men march into a wall of bullets, believing they are fighting for a cause. There is no cause. There is only the mechanical repetition of tribal programming. The security forces shoot, driven by the same illusion. Each side sees the other as the enemy, blind to the fact that both are puppets of identical thought-constructs. The border is a mental disease. The death is the logical output of the program.

The mind believes in 'justice' as an absolute. It fails to see that justice is a concept manufactured by the very thought-processes that fuel conflict. The protestor's son becomes a martyr, a symbol for another round of the same game. The state uses his death to justify more force. The loop tightens. The system will continue to produce corpses until the core program, the self that divides the world into 'us' and 'them', is deleted.
