Why is terrorism bad?

Terrorism is mostly defined by the use of serious violence, force, and other means of
destruction against civilians and properties with the intention of producing fear and
danger to intimidate the public. It gives the people the uncertainty that their leaders
cannot protect them and also leaves political instability in their wake.
Terrorism impacts not only the government, but also, those daily lives of the people who
are attacked randomly. It affects their livelihoods, their properties, their families, their
sense of security and their own mentality. Those who are directly or indirectly attacked
by terrorism lose their way of living. Public safety is now threatened by random attacks
that can happen any time. Such attacks may also affect their mental state in a way that
they are now hypersensitive to anything that can trigger their fight or flight response in
order to save themselves out of fear that they may be the next victims. But what is
especially damaging is the pointless loss of lives. People who have been victims of
terrorist attacks have lost families and loved ones. The lives lost cannot be brought back
by nonsense attacks to fulfill their own goals.
