Love thyself

Love and hate form the whole series of extreme emotions , one at the sober end and the other ferocious. Every human being hangs on, in the gamut of this string positioning according to his/ her taste. Interestingly it is to address these mood swings religions came into force.

Operating from a tutored learning a child/an adolescent enters this world. The society on its part adds a fair amount of experiences to shape it. So the basic question is where and how do people take to extremism or violent behaviour? If every child is treated well at home and groomed well with strong principles of living, it cannot be easily influenced by the so called godfather. So it is the parents/ grandparents who must give the children the enhanced vision of the society we live in. They will continue their life in a balanced way.

Adults form their opinions and beliefs as per their success in life. Success surely needs the support of a certain group or number of people to promote and encourage them. This backing many a times keeps the individuals sober / affable. The successful people are busy promoting themselves. The other section of not so successful are the ones who travel down the full range of emotions from love to hate. It is the way they wish to assert.

In Sanatan Dharma the rebirth theory is nothing but the price one pays for being inhuman in the present birth. The chain of births and deaths is correlated to our behaviour. To rise above our prejudices and misconceptions the chanting of Vedas, Nitya Pooja( daily worship) , a Devghar at home, temple visits and other Dharma contributions are recommended. It is also believed that everyone is born again to make amends ..washing off the previous sins/Atonement.

India being an one pot meal of many religions/ faiths , the inter faith hate will only make people reborn in the other faith , offended by them currently. This applies to All irrespective of the faiths they follow in India. So next time be careful before hitting, killing, sloganeering you become that. It is in the individual's personal interest that they start loving or atleast accommodate others so that they don't turn others. This statement is not to demean anyone following other faiths.

Many commentaries have been written on Love and Hate. Have these made an impact on the people belonging to all the faiths? Not at all. Humanity is jostling with great pride to become supreme.
