It is time we unshackled ourselves from the past. When a child is born, he does not know who he is. He is ever innocent of the ways of the world, accepts everything and trusts all. He has no idea of religion! Slowly the capricious ways of the world is injected into him and he starts distrusting people.
There are no problems with ordinary people. Mostly, our politicians & religious bigots do us in! Innocents get killed, but the instigators live forever! This goes on, ad naseum. We should break this cycle.
I have moved with all, with open mind. Chinese, Pakistanis, Westerners, all are same. So easy to get along with ordinary folks. But I never judge people. If I want to find faults, I have to start with me only and hopefully end there. A simple "can you help me" does wonders.
We cannot change our parents nor our neighbours. The common man yearns for peace! Extrapolating my experince, I will bet my last paise, that it is very easy. Religion has nothing to do with it. Within religion also people fight, maim & kill each other. It is just hate taking over reason.
We are felled by poverty. No shame in cooperating with Pakistan, China and anybody. As the chinese say, a good neighbour is better than a distant relative! It is ever true as children stay away from parents now. It is a reality. We all live in guilt. Let us die in peace, at least fighting for it.
We all have so much in common. Why look for divisions. We share one planet and same blood. Start now!

Yeah... Start Now..!!! And get your @ss blow off first..! Posting craps sentimentally wont work in practical way. Words of "Peace", "Love", "Affection" and most of all "Commonality" factors wont get into the ears of the Jihadists who are ready even to blow themselves up. Think logically before you scrap anything.
