Fear and Hatred

Dr. KS Raghavan

In another post (https://www.boloji.com/blog/1261/arishadvarga ) I stated that FEAR and HATRED are the most negative of human emotions. They affect greatly one’s personal life as well as social and political scenario. I strongly feel that they are more dangerous than the six emotions grouped together as ARISHADVARGA.

I am reproducing here a few thoughts of modern thinkers and reformers about Fear and Hatred.

Hatred and Fear blind us. We no longer see each other. We only see the face of a monster and that gives us the courage to destroy each other.
Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese monk, Author of “Old Path, White Clouds")

As I walked out of the prison I knew that if I did not leave behind all anger, hatred and bitterness, I would still be in prison.
Nelson Mandela

Hatred paralyzes life, Love releases it;
Hatred confuses life, Love harmonizes it;
Hatred darkens life, Love illuminates it.
Dr. Martin Luther King

Fear is the main source of superstition and one of the main sources of cruelty.
To conquer fear is the dawn of wisdom.
Sir Bertrand Russell
