"当你称自己为印度人或穆斯林或基督徒或欧洲人或其他任何东西时你是在变得暴力"
— 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.
