AR chose his words very well when saying that in life, hating and loving are choices we make everyday. AR chose love and look how far he has gone in life. Yes, he is gifted, blessed, has all the right combinations of other factors that made his life such a success story, but the bottom line to all that is his devotion to God through love, not through hate. ARR is badly affected when he hears of violence and acts of terrorism through hatred.
I sincerely wish that those who harbor hate and use it to destroy life (terrorists, both from the East and West) would seriously think about what Rahman said. Rahman's Hindu and Islamic roots blended with Sufism and strong familiy values have allowed him to live a life of music and peace, and yes he is blessed that way. But, even those who have not had such fortunate lives and have been brainwashed into a way of thinking that creates hatred and intolerance can still choose love as a way of living and relating IF THEY REALLY WANT TO. IT IS A CHOICE. A CHOICE YOU MAKE EVERYDAY. Listen up hate mongers. That special Renaissance Man who just won the Oscars knows exactly what he's talking about.
