Shallowness

When it is too obvious to be seen to everyone, but it should not be supposed to be like what it looks, there starts so called ‘synthetic judgement’. For example, it is too obvious to anyone that to make defunct the specific structure of phenomena, that is, life, is not so pleasant thing to every living being’s eyes, unless one regards that the victim is merely a condition, not a specific structure, which kind of thought usually predator adopts as taken for granted, but as it happens sometimes that to kill others can, nay, even should be regarded as good deed. For it is the case which I already mentioned long time ago, as the act of protection of certain community. Indeed, as this concept of protection is so vague, many times this protection is involved with active attack. Then now here is the point where that painful ‘synthetic judgement’ emerges by insisting that the attacked group was inherently ‘wicked’ one, while what is the evilness of it, is just later employed. So in this regards, surely terrorism and patriotism are virtually having same root, that is, biological ‘group reaction’ Even if every moralist tries to defend this view as too facile, since it is just able to be claimed by adolescent schoolboy, however then what is the more ‘deep structure’? the social self - vindication or the biological inheritance?
