Promote peace and harmony everywhere!

Human life is distinct from other forms of life primarily in our capacity to logically analyse situations and apply prudent decisions suitable to dynamic situations. The intelligence vested in human beings is unparalleled. Still, we see around us reprehensible actions initiated by misguided people who fail to uphold legitimate values of civilised society.

We see people fighting against each other, emotionally surcharged and spit the venom of hatred and violence - all in the name of illusory man-made divisions. We see violence and hatred gradually and systematically spread in the society like a cancer. Patriotism, Religion, Ethnicity, Language and all sorts of social divisions among the human race are being taken advantage by vested interests to propagate their self-defeating goals that help them reach nowhere.
Civilised society has its firm roots in the principles of co-existence with peace and harmony. Faith or religions are intended to uplift the human intellectual levels and regulate their life style. These are not meant to be misused for any purpose, whatsoever. No person who faithfully upholds the values taught by his or her own religion can afford to hate. On the other hand, love for humanity and all other forms of life is what one's religion will inculcate in one's intellectual realm. At least to my knowledge, there is not a single religion that direct people to fight with each other. Religious tolerance is the hall mark of a matured civilisation.

Under growing deterioration of moral values alround, it is the duty of each and everyone of us to bring up our siblings as genuine followers of the concepts of love, tolerance and mutual co-existence. Let us all strive to achieve this goal for sustaining and upholding the intellectual enrichment of human lives.
