Identification with surrounding

To consider the problems and geopolitical tensions the world is going through, it would be only fair to introspect a little. Why do these conflicts arise? A simple explanation would be that we separate ourselves from the surrounding. There are problems in the world around us, and fact of the matter is that we are part of it – both the world and the problem. Unless there is change in us, there is no hope of any change in the world.

We are too much involved in ourselves and rarely see beyond. We refuse to be part of something greater and keep fighting for smaller things. Considering the tensions in the Middle East, the frequent terrorist attacks on civilised life, it is only clear that there are hurdles created between men, which we could live without. People are separating themselves from others, from society, from their surrounding. If we look at the implications of the terrorist attacks, people are killed irrespective of their background, status, religion and race.

These attacks have given us the opportunity to think that we are not different from each other as we are part of same society. Now the difficult task remains is to convey the same message to those people who believe in terrorism being the answer to their problems. For that we have to reach to the root of the problem. There certainly are huge gaps in society, that force people to feel indignant. The cure is within us. If we stop considering ourselves different from those around us and try and be part of surrounding and not adding the imbalance in the world, it would only help.

It is enough that we have crated physical boundaries on the earth, we can do away with the mental boundaries and be a part of this universe. We only add to the imbalance in the nature when we separate ourselves from it. Identify with nature, try enhancing empathy and most of the problems in this world will be solved. The pain and boundaries will vanish. We all came from the same origin, try and reunite with it and the world will be without conflicts.
