Every 'ism' is good as long as it is in hand of rational people. But when irrational people start to use the 'ism' it begets violence and war. What is the point of being a scientist if I act like an extremist pretending that only our quest for the great question is right and their quest for the great question is wrong? There is no single answer for every question. Tolstoy once said that, if everyone fought for their own conviction, there would be no war. The task is however not so easy. Humans are naturally selfish and honestly speaking they wouldn't make it this far if they were not so. But as we have evolved as a rational being we need to practice to get rid of our own instinct and to stop dividing ourself on the basis of gender, religion, nation or any other group and to work together as an accumulated lifeform otherwise we will surely collapse. We must recognize our own fault that we are responsible for and stop blaming others. Accepting the fault doesn't make us weak although not accepting does so because it doesn't help us to recognize our problem. Putting the mask of victim mentality might help us to achieve some objectives but in the macro level, it is a waste. The world doesn't revolve around a single person, not me, not you but for everyone. We say we are the mightiest being but the reality is that we are fragile and vulnerable when we try to be selfish though it may seem like it is our strongest castle. Every logical decision I am coming out with is leading towards the misery of total human race. The only thing that I have right now to deal with this problem is compassion and compassion only. Unless we spread love, compassion, sympathy and protect each other as much as we can, we are nothing.
