Navin, a young Indian medical student, has died in Ukraine. Many more have died, many more will do.

Is their suffering bringing tears to your eyes? If no, then know well there is a monster within you.

What is a monster? One who divides the world into 'us' and 'them'. 'Them' he can burn alive. And 'us'? He further divides 'us' into 'me' and 'the rest'. All he cares for is 'me'.

As in India, political and religious leaders incite their followers to kill their enemies. Alongside enemies, the followers also get killed. In public, these leaders shed fake tears over the dead followers. In private, they rejoice.

Don't let anyone make you hate others just because they don't belong to your religion, country, or community.

Beware of the monsters around you. But, first, beware of the monster within you.
