When your child was little and did not know what is right or wrong, you taught him/her many things. You introduced him to his/her sibling and told that this child is part of our family. and he/she will share what ever toys/sweets and other things which are brought to this home. So you have every right to kick him, hit him and scold him or even send him out of the house. You did not do that? Nor did I. Nor did any other mother. Instead we told "Look child, this is your brother/sister. You should love him/her. You should protect her. You should share everything with her. "
When his uncle came visiting we did not tell him " See this uncle of yours, looks cunning. He is not to be trusted. Never ever play with his children. Hate him and his children. He may overtake our house and our belongings." It sounds so ridiculous. Isn't it? Instead we told "See he is your uncle. He and his children are part of our family. We should welcome them and entertain them in our house".
When a neighbor's kid came to our house, we welcomed that child, asked our son/daughter to play with that child. Even when our child fought with this kid, we mediated and asked them shake hands with each other and become friends all over again.
But then why are we letting our leaders to make us hate everyone else? Based on caste, community, language, country, or may be even galli. By now we should realize that these leaders - be they political leaders or religious leaders or any other type, are not being ideal moms. They are not telling us what is right. They are teaching us all wrong things.
Why can't we just tell these leaders" What ever are your motives, you are teaching us all wrong things. We may not be another Gandhi or Christ. But nor are we monsters to just hate and hurt everyone. We are born as humans and want to remain humans . So take your hate speeches elsewhere and go to hell".
Shall we do that from now onwards?
