ABSTRACT

The amateur assassin is so blind with his personal ambition that he does not realize that his act of assassination is the sole cause of his fate, which is death. The same or similar rationale may apply to modern assassins and suicide bombers, who are so focused on the act of assassination and murder for their personal reasons or “for the good of God” that they cannot even look beyond that to see their own mortality affected, let alone any other consequences. This represents blind ambition in the most extreme and dangerous way.
