The main reason for conflicts and violence in the world today is that people identify with limited characteristics such as race, religion and nationality, forgetting their basic identity as part of the universal spirit. These limited identifications lead to conflict.
Today, in the name of religions, many wars in the world are exploding. The solution of this can be achieved by recognizing that despite the diversity of cultures, the world is a family and a land of common destiny. In order to eliminate violence, injustice and poverty, we need to educate about the principles of human values. This knowledge leads to compassion and love that inspires action.
