Bridging Divides: The Path to Unity and Peace
Bridging divides. Religion can be used for good or bad. Historically, have contributed to the development of culture, moral systems, and art. They have also been behind social justice, community building, and compassion among members within religious communities. However, religion has also been used to justify wars, persecute civilizations, and discriminate against others.
Mohammed K Paika:People who are devoutly religious can be led to believe that they are divinely chosen above other groups. Once we label someone, we tend to automatically divide them. We divide each other based on our names as well as our faith. We fail to see that we are indeed all connected. Though the world has advanced technologically and scientifically, our minds still cling to past prejudice.
Mohammed K Paika:The time has come for a genuine shift to see the inherent unity behind our diversity. As we open our eyes to recognize our shared essence, separation falls away. When we relate to the basic humanity in each other, compassion flows unobstructed.
