"Every one lives matter" 

@Dutch guy it's a dirty game, politics, never been my cup of tea. Stay true to yourself, you may not find those willing to play fair around here but you can still speak your truth (unless it's deemed a conspiracy), that's what counts 

don't waiver or be led into devilish boxes, that's what this whole game is focused on, ignorant minds like to keep the separation ALIVE

beats doing the work aye, until it doesn't

Yes yes yes, because Sadghuru is enlightened this makes him a political expert who knows everything about politics, bow down to him

imagine someone else said it, what do you think of the actual content?

@Consept @DrewNows He's not trolling, he's simply stating how we are all one. This entire movement is just the masses creating separation.

Id consider saying 'im just saying hi to a minority' trolling

A few points that caught me attention:

1. Changing laws and changing hearts/minds. For example, in the U.S. there are anti-discrimination laws in place for hiring practices, yet this does not address the underlying hearts/minds that would be motivated to discriminate based on race, sexual orientation, gender etc. 

2. Cruelty to animals is not far from cruelty to humans. I hadn’t thought about it like this before. Engaging in cruelty to animals, could de-sensitize someone to cruelty to humans. 

3. Selective cruelty. In addition to selective animal cruelty, there is selective human cruelty. For example, during the U.S. invasion of Iraq, I noticed many Americans had selective cruelty. Many Americans clearly valued American lives over Iraqi lives. When there were reports about innocent Iraqi’s being abused, held in horrific prisons or killed, it just didn’t move many Americans. There was this sense of the “other”. Yet when they saw news about an American reporter, American tourist or soldier being abused by Iraqis, they would get MUCH more upset and even outraged lusting for revenge over those “barbaric bastards”.  I’m trying to think of an area I engage in being ok with “selective cruelty” to a living being. . . Perhaps with an aborted embryo or fetus. I was raised in a religious home that was very pro-life. Yet it never stuck. I then went off to the University and studied science. I’ve always thought it best to reduce the number of abolition’s, yet I never felt much empathy for an embryo or fetus. I’ve had to put effort into understanding how someone would get so upset about killing an embryo/fetus as well as developing empathy in this area. . . However, if I am hiking in a forest, I easily have empathy for a deer and hope a hunter doesn’t shoot it. 

— One thing I would add is the importance of spending time with people that have different life experiences, races and perspectives than one’s self. Whoever one is uncomfortable with. That could be a certain race, sexual orientation and nationality. And getting to know that person. At my academic institution, every student majoring in a language has to study abroad in a foreign culture for at least one year. It’s something I’d like to see as a requirement for all students, yet it might be difficult to do logistically.

This is so true. Especially all the points you collected from the video. I also agree with those. And think about serial killers. It has been shown by research that most serial killers started out by killing animals. So what he says is true.

So true 

Nobody really understands that we need more unity and not division.
