When your enemy is intolerant, radical and not ready to negotiate? What is the solution?
Do you also become just like that ? Fight hate with hate, you may win that war, but are u still you? or have u become them now?
We have an example of this in Mahabharata. Pandavas tried to negotiate , tried all different ways to avoid war. Kauravas were hateful, All they wanted was for Pandavas to be obliterated. What can you do in this case? If it is you or them, It may as well be you. What happens to all our liberal and peaceful values, to our enlightenment?
And also, What was the consequence? Kauravas were all killed. Pandavas lost all their children, all the relatives, everything except their land and kingdom. Millions from both sides were killed. The only winner was mother earth, Krishna says this was meant to reduce burden on earth. So it was a win after all?
Is there any better solution? This is happening in the world right now. Everyone is kind of ready to jump on hate wagon. They point at the other side and say look! you are an idiot, you will be slaughtered. There are lot of other problems, other worries which needs the whole world to act like one family to fix. What do I do? Should I just focus on my own development and ignore all this?
