On Auroras and Aurora - Thou shall not Kill vs Thou Shall Not Murder - A Tribute to Victims, First Responders and Survivors of Aurora Colorado...














As to the Question as to Why This Young Man Gave Himself  UP -A SIGN as to WHY? Among Many other questions...This is what I could think through these Challenging  Questions Thus Far...
Thou Shalt Not Kill vs Thou Shall not Murder

Firstly, by Sly and Viral Substitution of Killing and Murder,

He in his mind got away with Murder.



Birds Do it. Fish Do it. Most every other Species Does It. To Kill for a Living.  Hunter/Gatherers and Soldiers Do it. We Kill and... Fall in Love. 
For Something Greater than Ourselves.




AS a Natural KILLER - Required
The Will and Understanding to Kill
The Will and Understanding to be Killed
(may be Part of Killing)
The Will to Die


VS

As a Murderer - Required


The Will and Hunger to Murder

The Will and Hunger to be Murdered

The Will and Hunger to Die...A Murderer

The Will to Murder Oneself


Also Mirrors:
On The Nature of Suicide


The Will and Understanding to Kill Oneself
vs
The Will and Hunger to Murder Oneself
The Will To Die

Birds Don't it. Fish Don't Do it. Most every other Species Does Not Do It. To Murder for a Living.  Hunter/Gatherers and Soldiers Don't Do It.  We Don't Murder and... Unless we Fall into the Habits and Practices of  Self-Hatred....Turned Outwards.
For Something Lesser than Ourselves.


Refrain - As to the Question as to Why This Young Man Gave Himself  UP?
Firstly, by Sly and Viral Substitution of Killing and Murder,
He in his mind got away with Murder.
