"Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence.
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind."
లేదా ఇంకొకరి గురించి చెడుగా మాట్లాడేటప్పుడు గాని ఇది గుర్తువస్తే బానే వుంటది. కాని మనల్ని ఎవరన్నా బాధ పెడితే వారి గురించి ఏమీ అనకుండా వుండగలగటం గొప్ప విషయమే. కాని ఉండగలమా? మరి మానసిక శాస్త్రవేత్తలు మనసులో వున్నది కక్కితే మంచిది అంటారు. ఆ కక్కటంలో మనల్ని బాధపెట్టిన వాళ్ళని ఏమీ అనకుండా బాధ వెళ్ళబుచ్చటం కష్టమేమో?

I wish to live like this for a life time Priya garu, without a thought that I am different from the rest of mankind just because I was born at a place. If one believes in science, then earth was not created with so many countries. All the land got split like this due to warming. If one believes in spirituality, God did not create this earth with so many countries. In Christianity, God created only a man and woman who knew no language. If one believes philosophy, we are not born with anything in hands and will not die with anything in hands, then why this separateness? All in all, the only thing that makes people look different is color. It is a fact due to the regional and atmospheric causes. I join my hands with you in this blog to shout along with you, "God is only a belief. Religion is only a book that differentiates between good and evil. Country is only for the namesake. Only thing that is persistent and serene is Man."
You are right. Let's hope for that day.
