"Quand vous vous appelez Indien ou Musulman ou Chrétien ou Européen ou quoi que ce soit d'autre vous êtes violent"
— Jiddu Krishnamurti

Simplified Meaning:
When a person labels themselves with a specific identity like Indian, Muslim, Christian, or European, they are separating themselves from others. This can create a sense of division and conflict. Imagine a school where students form groups based on interests like reading, sports, or music. If they start thinking their group is better than others, arguments and fights might occur. By focusing too much on these labels, people can forget that everyone is human and shares the same basic needs and feelings. This mindset can lead to arguments, misunderstandings, and even violence. By looking beyond labels and seeing each other as humans first, we can live more peacefully and with respect for each other.
