Let us apart from negatives..find the positives..
Notice good things. For every act in the world, hundreds of positive activities go unnoticed and undiscussed. All religions teach patience and tolerance.. When we call something' intolerant',is it because we're intolerant?? Tolerance is one of the highest spiritual qualities.
When we speak of intolerance, we speak with scared based,self-protection and security-based consciousness.We often speak for ourselves, discard others who are follow beings in our nation. We seek our own safety,ignoring those who cannot escape and forced to stay back..we separate ourselves from our brothers and sisters and think only of ourselves.
Once we get into a fear-based consciousness, there is no limit to what our mind can tell us to fear- weather, political, climate, terrorism, war,bad health and death,an endless list.
While it is not wrong to seek self- protection and safety, one must realize that in this existence and universe, there is no absolute security and safety.
There is no physical security in the world, there is only psychological safety .
As humans ,we are geared for survival, hence every small threat worries us.The ego in us fears annihilation, and seeks to protect itself, by escaping or fighting, using the classical fight- or- fight reaction. But this only increases our anxiety levels.
We must go back to the values taught by all religions- to love, tolerance and brotherhood.
Ask if there is any place safer here. Are we guaranteed that no harm will befall us if we shift out of our city or nation!? Unfortunately, the answer is big ' No'.We cannot understand life fully, nor escape our fate.The way to peace and happiness is to focus on positives and work to improve the negatives .
Do your duty and leave rest to Almighty. Become tolerant and show gratitude for what we have and what will be rewarded.
