Huge numbers of people was detained, hundreds were innocent, but this was considered an essential procedure for the benefit of the state, the national security and the success of the war against terrorism. But it created a new enemy, those who were oppressed, and thrown in jails without concrete proof. A state of urgency is a procedure taken up in normal timing, a procedure that shouldn’t last for long, for it violates the basic rights of the citizens and it affects the wellness of such societies.”

Where Can Compassion and Empathy Lead? Zorica Vukovic | Jun 5th, 2005
Interesting subject in an article well written and with characters depicted so nicely is making us think about compasson and empathy the other way. Usually we assume they both have calming and comforting role in human lives and are leading to peace, providing relief, but we become more and more aware how compassion and empathy, feelings for the other human being can become the fertile soil for emerging rage, growing distrust and sharing pain that calls for the revenge, sometimes (or always) blind revenge. That is the serious issue which modern humanity has to consider as its reality and unescapably dangerous standing point - that in a life of humans who have been drawn to the bottom of their rights or existence and to those ones who have lost all they have estimated valuable the revenge stays as one of the firmest if not only cause of life.
