SELF-REFLECTION ... 2

SELF-REFLECTION ... 2

Human beings are hardly human. They are like predators hunting down prey. Thus, from home to the world war reigns. It is a perpetual world war. Whither peace? Even apostles of non-violence are so violent in the pursuit of their creed. Mother Teresa used to say, "Peace begins at home." Let us have some peace at home. Family members are not meat for consumption. They are your loved ones. Do not attempt to snuff life out of them before their due natural hour. Let them live. You also live. Love if you can but do not hate. This toxin runs deep today in society and shows up as rulers and commanders with criminal propensities. Give up toxic literature that teaches hate. Give up toxic thoughts about others, especially your family members. There is the seed of violence, and men and women are both culpable to the offence, even if in varying degrees. Be human. Be kind. Be compassionate. That is the best religiosity, the best ethical attitude, the best way of collective living. Give peace a chance, at home, at your workplace and in society at large. 🕉
