"WORLD" means different

For different individuals, the word "world" means different things. There's a world inside your head, inside your home, your city, your country and one that's a great big spinning sphere. Many worlds; some big, and some small. And for the stress-ridden lives of angst that we lead, the smaller the rock, the easier it is to hide it. There's an acceptance of ignorance in our society that precedes all means of opinions and actions. A cautious glaze that people are putting over their lives, to smooth out the edges and make it a little more serene.

The world that some are living in is so small that it doesn't even allow conflict inside of it. Thinking only a few feet ahead of you, will lead to bliss, but that path is very lonely. But it's so eeeeeasy... Nothing is getting solved, every decision is lateral, like a dog chasing its own tail. Where is the clarity that is supposed to lead us to unity? How can a race of brilliant animals keep evolving, if we're denying our own demise?

I'm sure I am gaining the reputation of a barbaric brute because of my stance on the kidnap and Kill issue. But in honesty, I would use any means to protect my family...right, wrong, moral or immoral because I love my family and it is my duty to protect them. But here's my question: How would you combat these murderes (Al-shabab) who have no morals, abide by no teachings of Quran, and are willing to do what ever it takes to win?
If you turn your back on a bullet, it will still kill you.
