Tribalism

by Reza Ganjavi

Is psychological evolution, as time, an illusion? The role of self-knowledge in world peace is essential.

Technologically we have grown. Psychologically, have we?

My team vs. yours

My town vs. your town

My country vs. yours

My religion vs. yours

My sect vs. yours

My state vs. your

My master vs. your

My family vs. yours

And the list goes on

These all have an element of possession, belonging.

Identification gives continuity to the self.

It makes you be something.

Whereas you're in fact nothing, psychologically.

And when you think of I, it is a bundle of memories - the past - long gone - not a fact.

Until each person sees this and ends it in oneself, there can be no peace in the world.
