When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a
European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is

When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it
breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not
belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or
partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
--J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known, pp.51-52

and the people in your neighborhood, would if they only could, meet and
shake the other's hand, work together for the good of the land, and, say
we got to have peace, to keep the world alive, with our voice the world
knows there's no choice, we've got to have peace.
-- Curtis Mayfield
