The nature of extremism

The nature of extremism is simple and deadly. Simple attachment to dogma, an idea or belief. A way of seeing and developing an obsession about an ideal, rather than treating everything based on what it really is. A strong belief about a way of life, people, or things, events an outcomes, past and future. A positive vision may guide and develop, but a negative one will destroy. Hence careful study of one's beliefs and values is a great responsibility for every individual.
