00:00Religion becomes the primary identity, and it's an identity that one can shed a lot of blood for.
00:06It's the easiest thing to shed blood for because if you believe that you are representing the ultimate truth
00:13and other people don't, then it could become an obligation to do so.
00:20It becomes a moral obligation to actually straighten the other by killing the other.
00:26It's almost like doing a favor to the other by punishing him.
00:30Why have human beings evolved such a tendency?
00:35You see, if I do not say that the other is mistaken, then I'll have to ask who is mistaken?
00:44Because somebody is indeed mistaken.
00:47The world is such a chaotic affair, and things are not going right,
00:51and one can see the disorder, the agony, the suffering, the collapse.
00:57So somebody has to be responsible.
00:59And if you are not responsible, then I'll have to be open to the possibility that I am responsible.
01:07Therefore, I must assert that the other is the evil.
01:12And I'm all right.
01:13I don't need to change myself.
01:15I'm already okay.
01:16You are the culprit.
01:18Is there a solution?
01:19I say mass-based education of the self.
01:22We educate ourselves in so much, so much.
01:25Accept the self.

01:31The world is incredible.
01:34I tell you more about you.
