The inner voice the antidote to disconnection ( & violence)

Reading the non-stop violence and killing in the headlines of the news makes me wonder 
why many people feel so disconnected 
that the only way they can feel power is 
by killing someone.  
The next step in the disconnect is 
either to kill themself or 
to provoke others to kill them. 

This disconnect is not only in the mid-east, 
is not only with isis. 
It happens here in the United States. 
It happens in the dance between 
the Israelis and the Palestinians

The major religions have justified disconnection and murder in various periods over 4,000 years of history (Armstrong, K. (1993). A history of God over 4,000 years: the 4,000 year quest of Judiasm, Christianity & Islam. New York, Ballentine Books.)

How does the noise get so loud, that we cannot hear, that we cannot see?
