#yahialababidi , sorry, but I disagree with you.

I also find the imagery of the poem disturbing, but I also see the poem as telling us that we cannot win a war by making brave statements; we must be brave enough to fix ourselves and those whose lives intersect with ours.

I have a feeling that if Gandhi were alive, he would not be that certain his solutions apply. Yes, if I, as a Greek Cypriot, should hate the Turks (of Turkey) the sayings by Gandhi apply. But we now have our own children who have been brainwashed into thinking all is owed to them, they need not work or create to deserve anything. By being nice to them, we would be pandering to their delusions.

We used to have something called tough love. Thanks to the teachers and professors of our time, some of that tough love would do far more good - at least, that is how I see it.
