Ideology of Peace
THE IDEOLOGY OF PEACE
~ 17 ~
to be violent, he should become the embodiment of
love and peace. When negative sentiments corrode
his heart, he should be able to rid himself of them
and make himself a positive thinker.
To put it briefly, despite possessing total freedom,
he should of his own free will become an example
of moral, disciplined behaviour. One who thus
conducts himself will pass God’s test. Only those
who act in this way will be selected by the Lord, the
Creator and Sustainer of this universe, as the
beneficiaries of that most wonderful blessing—
eternal paradise.
The study of psychology tells us that human beings
are by nature egoists. Whenever their ego is hit, a
hostile reaction is produced which easily becomes
converted into hatred and the urge to do violence.
This point has been dealt with very clearly by C.M.
Joad in his book: “The Modern Wickedness.” It is
this psychological weakness in human beings due
to which we find that differences often take the
form of animosity, which frequently leads to
violence.
