I got a security alert when I extracted JTR that JTR is a Trojan virus. Why? Is it really a trojan? (I know it's a stupid question)

This happens with a lot of security tools. As long as you are downloading it from a trusted source (ie: the project website), and it's a commonly used tool, don't worry about it.

The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.

Same happens with Cain $ Abel. Although that statement from Openwall is kind of sketchy. Saying that AVs use JTR or a few other similar programs to bump their count is kind of silly as they don't need to worry about a few numbers. They already deal in the 100s to 1000s.
