Today is an animal, you want it to die; In the afterlife, he doesn't want you alive. Measure for measure, unequivocally. Therefore, individual homicide is the origin of social unrest such as kidnapping, robbery and murder; Killing by groups is the root cause of war. There is only one way to prevent it-stop killing.
