Jesus used to tell to his followers about the eternal and the only truth of life. That entire world manifests in just two words ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’. Now this can be interpreted in many ways, but so far no consensus has been reached.
One interpretation is that whatever exists in this world and whatever any human being thinks, does, intend or convey has one and only one root i.e. the balancing act of Good and the evil. Good is often related to Love and Evil to hatred.
Long following and the recent unrest in the beautiful valley of Jammu and Kashmir can also be traced down to the same balancing act. Consider the reason and the purpose which these unmindful people give for creating such social unrest. For militants it is the love for their people, their religion, their motherland which pushes them towards display and expression of hatred towards those whom they consider a threat. For the successive governments in Pakistan it is their love for ego, for self esteem, for power which makes them breed hatred as a tool of self-defence.
For the victim people who come out on roads to show their displeasure and anger by creating civic unrest, it is their love for the unconscious hope of ‘soon living a fair and happy life’ which makes them show hatred. For the religious leaders who take advantage of people’s feelings and misguide them, it is their love for the purpose they consider they are born to fulfil.
So great the god is to create the feeling of Love and so unfortunate we are to use hatred as a means to relish love.
This interpretation clearly depicts the cause for the existence of ‘Bad’ in the world. The very assumption that love can be achieved or experienced by using hatred is wrong. What we need is not the stringent punishment for those who commit such acts, but the very understanding that love can be achieved only by love.
Hope someday people will realise the real purpose of humanity and there will be no place for hatred and suffering but only LOVE.........
