Hate, Love, Rights and Duty

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Mahathir 'hate' tirade condemned

When the history of this now comes to be written, it will no doubt contain a lot of references to hate.

Those future historians may indeed know more that new do. That there is a secret conspiracy running the world. Or that there isn't: that we are just self-obsessed children, incapable of seeing beyond ourselves.

We have become obsessed with Identity: Gender, Racial, Religious, National.

Yet we have not grasped our own Identity.Who am I?

When we know who we are as individuals, Love ourselves then the artificial divisions between the peoples of the world will dissolve. It's a mindset issue.

When we realise that rights and duty are two sides of the same coin, we will have chance.
