Q&A: Wasted Emotion
Wasted Emotion
Question
I want to ask a question that may sound political or psychological, but what interests me more is the philosophical aspect.
After every terror attack, you always hear voices calling for the death penalty for terrorists or other promises,
and we’ve been in this movie for decades.
And the feeling is that we’re stuck more or less at the same point.
There’s anger that somehow disappears in the flow of life and then wakes up again until the next time, unfortunately.
So where is the failure, as opposed to the left, which does manage to bring its discourse—shared memory, innocent victims, and the rest of that talk—even though it hasn’t been in power for years?
So people immediately start babbling about the media, the legal system, etc. etc.
For some reason that doesn’t really convince me.
If the Rabbi has a different way of looking at the matter, I’d be glad to hear it???
Answer
I don’t understand any of this. What is the question? I also don’t understand where, in your view, the left succeeds and the right fails. Both have their own discourse. So what?
