" I Matter Plenty"

Every day you flip news channels or pages of a newspaper you can hear and read; one and only one thing: Betrayal by few individuals either to the world, their country, society or family.

Why do people like Osama Bin Laden, Sadam Husain, Robert Hanssen and many more like them breed in our peaceful society? What motivates them to do what they have done and harm the sanity of humanity?

Having passion for human psychology and brief background from school, i started looking into profiles and published videos of individuals described above.

The most fascinating and astonishing fact about these people was that they were just like me, my friends, you or our next door neighbors and that scared the hell out of me. I racked my brain a little longer and read more to figure out what is it that makes them different and in-human.

One thing that stood out in their profile was there inner and deep urge to show people that “I Matter Plenty". They have a deep desire to prove everyone that they can rule the world and outsmart everyone around them. In accomplishing so, they reroute their energy and brain cells in doing malevolent activities. Osama and Sadam always thought that they can rule the world. Robert Hanseen became the America's dangerous and perfect spy.

You will always notice that these people discuss with their co-workers, friends and family how they hate certain norm of their system (even if that is not true). Robert Hanssen constantly mentioned how unhappy he was with the security system and so on.

Finally one thing that I also found unique about the profiles was individual’s extreme belief in their religion. Most of us use gods name to gain inner strength and peace BUT these people use gods name to justify their brutal and cold-blooded acts.


"I Matter Plenty" how many of us feel this need so we can satisfy our human ego every single day?

How much is this need...is it so much that it leads us to be one of the above?

As a citizen of this world we need to wake up and realize what are we truly born for and what is more important to us Humanity or Callous
