BUILD BRIDGES NOT WALLS BETWEEN PEOPLES



BUILD BRIDGES NOT WALLS
Where the Mind is Without Fear '

We live in a world where fear and prejudice is on the rise. Many who seek power use our pre-disposed mental tendency towards anxiety and fear. They appeal to our anxiety by focusing on difference . They suggest that the only way we can survive is to build walls and keep out the stranger. We see this in the modern world of politics

There is nothing new in this. It is ancient news!.   I find this poem by the Indian Poet & Mystic to be helpful. He composed this in the face of  prejudice and fear that some sought to inflame in India during the early part of the last century. Its message rings true today.
