They could believe it or they would not believe it, but both situations had one thing in common.
They both would be in a state of fear, and in that type of environment, where yet another tragedy could take place, people would feel unsafe and start to lose trust in the various protective and governing institutions that were supposed to keep them safe.
Not only were they supposed to trust those institutions to keep them safe, but they also gained security in their everyday lives so that they could focus on their daily lives and remain positive.
Mistrust, anxiety, insecurities and fear would take root within them with each event that would take place in the future, and it would only continue to spread.
If that kind of fear spread, then it was like a breeding ground for Evil Spirits that were empowered and born from such negative parts of the human will and their Life Energy that leaked out of them in that form carrying that negativity.
