To Know is to be ...

To Know is to be Free; To be Free  is to see the Need to Share; To Share is to be Nearer to God.

\Why should we be nearer to God? Because God encompasses the full definition of Goodness. Some atheists would not like those sentences at all. 

But violence is rooted in evil. Evil is contrary to goodness. And so evil is contrary to God's ways. 

Some people say, don't think in black and white. Think in terms of cause and effect. What is the cause of evil? What is the effect of evil? Have they thought of that? If we are going to justify every act as having a cause and effect, then we shall not have anymore need for laws, for peace and order in society. Instead, every individual act, whether violent or not, will have cause and effect. 

So where is sin there? Nada. No sin at all. Karma is what you will get if you do evil, meaning it will get back to you. 

I wonder if the neck hackers in the Middle East think of karma at all. Do they ever think of living 5 or 10 years from now? Or do they just want to think of the present -- how many necks they can still hack each day?

How do they feel after hacking a neck? Glorious? Can they sleep after killing one, or a dozen, or hundreds of people? Where do they get their stamina in being able to look at blood and gory scenes without flinching and doing it again and again?

I think that EDUCATION has to be thought of -- all fields,  whether they include ethics, especially engineering. Do the curricula include ethics? Ethics deals with right and wrong, 

Ramzi Yousef -- studied electrical engineering in Swansea Institute. 

Zulkifli Abdul bin Hir, alias Marwan, trained overseas as an engineer in the USA

Bin Laden earned a degree in civil engineering in 1979 from King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah

Those three people above all studied engineering and they were involved in bombings, in doing violence. Ramzi, together with others,  bombed the World Trade Center. So indeed their education must not have carried a humanistic view of ethics, meaning to say, one that has respect of life. 

Isn't it high time to check the engineering educational curricula? How many lives could we save if we do that?
