Though I fully share the opinion of the author, I wonder, if it isn't rather helpful, that society always only attacks the symptoms than the true problems.

If society would see the problems for what they are, the first and main response would not be an increase of empathy for the angry few that might or might not turn into homicidal maniacs. I fear the response would be the same response that the foreign looking guy at the air port, the terror suspects in guantanamo bay or even worse the ideologic spoiled fighter in the mountains of pakistan gets.

Society tends to react with anger and violence to that what frightens them and as long as it is easier to destroy than to build up, it would choose to destroy the people with a potential dangerous psyche.

more drinks≠more happiness

memories of the family are more precious than memories of wild nights

to succeed in college one actually has to study

don't be an arrogant douche to anyone because you think you know better, even if you do, sometimes it's better to be one than to be right.
