You make a lot of sense only I don’t know what you mean by us not having free will. Sure we have no choice in birth, death, old age and disease but don’t we have free will in moral choices?
That was just a figure of speech. But there are some who won’t kill a cockroach or a fly. I think that’s overkill. Pun not intended. No we are not all equal as far as capacity or qualifications go. But we all are entitled to be treated as equals. So we don’t exalt a doctor over a farmer. The...
That was interesting what you said about emotions. I believe that crafty arms dealers/ politicians manipulate very emotional people to start wars. This is where a stable and reflective mind, which we have been given, needs to be used. To train the mind not to allow the emotions to get carried...
I agree that we could just aim for no demonisation but I think humanity can go beyond mediocrity and aim for much nobler heights such as love even if it appears too idealistic or utopian because I think we can do a lot better than just tolerating each other although that would be a great start.
This thread is not about any religion but about us all learning or being taught that the whole world is our nationality so to speak so that there are no grounds for demonising anyone on any grounds.
Doesn’t the Middle East need this urgently where we hear too often that we in the west are...
I agree there are those who have mental diseases like Hitler but the followers are basically conned and brainwashed. Same with wars today. Why do armies agree to fight and kill? Yes again I agree that poverty is a major issue but again education in a trade, art or skill can help greatly to gain...
I suppose if one lives in a state of comfort and ease, oblivious of the suffering of millions in far off countries then yes it would be nonsense to such people. But I see my loved ones trapped in oppression and I see the suffering up close so I don’t feel it’s nonsense as it affects my family...
Not overnight but through educative rehabilitation involving a peaceful accepting and well wishing mindset be taught to them. Why post here because anyone may be a catalyst and send the concept viral.
A culture of peace needs to take root all over the world and spread into its darkest corners...
Our thoughts make us what we are either loving and friendly humans or monsters and it can be proven wherever there is hatred, prejudice and war , alongside it is a deliberate system of demonisation using education as the tool. It happened with Hitler. It’s happening again now. It doesn’t have...
I’m only one person. I’m sure that this sentiment is very much alive in world circles as they study the repeated cycles of war and are arriving at the conclusion that the educational system needs restructuring to promote tolerance and acceptance including in eastern nations.
It can be a world...
And what about Muslim nations who are taught that all non Muslims are infidels? What if they taught their people to love all humanity? What would happen? Don’t you guys think that would change things?
So what’s wrong with a billion Chinese loving all humankind unconditionally as equals? You see something wrong with that? I certainly don’t and see it as leading to world peace.
