I was watching the 10 commandments on Video with my daughter. Moses had a great problem on his hands, when some of the Hebrews he had freed from slavery, built idols of worship and disbelieved in God and Moses, they fought among themselves like wild savages.
My daughter who is 10 asked me why they did not believe in God, when they can see what god has done for them. I didn't know what to say, and when Moses had the order from God, to kill all those that built Icons because they disbelieved in God and Moses.
I could only fall back on the 10 commandments, and couldn't answer why God should kill his own people, hopefully i got the main message over to her, the 10 commandments. The World is Chaos we cannot do anything to improve it, as it is part of the biorhythm and balance, when the balance is tilted one way or the other, then a sever reaction will occur. We have to acknowledge that barbarism does exist, in good and evil it is part of human nature for survival but others use it for gain.
To say to ourselves we could not be barbaric would be a lie, it's all a matter of circumstance and orderly behaviour that we have grown up with keeps us in check, in a chaotic society were people take without asking, it all changes people that have lived without rules will please themselves what they do, only fear will keep them on the right road, fear of what is the big answer to the question.
Though when you have been locked up for a long time, it may become very difficult to adapt outside of prison, depends on many factors like character, age, education, the abuse, and much more.
Everything is to do with fear, even crossing the road on a red light, not logic.
