The miracle of love
All are basically good as the divine spark in all is one and the same. No one is born a thief or a terrorist. It is the deprivation of basic amneties of life namely food, clothing, shelter especially love and care , lack of opportunities for employment that cause insecurity among people ,forcing them to extreme steps of terrorism, theft, robbery and other means as a retalatiation or compensation for the deprivation of love and care, not provided by the society in which they live. The yearning for love and care is a basic ingredient of the soul of every created being, whether animate or inanimate. Emotional life is richer and deeper than the intellectual life. When the mind is full and rich, the intellect works and wisdom also dawns.
There is a story that the most famous of all Japanese robbers, Ishikawa Goemon, once by night entering a house to kill and steal , was charmed by the smile of a baby which reached out hands to him, and that he remained playing with the little creature until all chance of carrying out his purpose was lost.
Man is like a plant with its green parts above the ground and its roots below the soil. Although a plant may be temporarily crushed and bruised by the weather conditions, its roots will survive and grow back again later. Similarly, man may be temporarily crushed and bruised by insecurity, neglect, deprivation of the basic necessities of life, his roots imbedded in love will survive and grow back again later as a proper human being, if necessary surroundings are provided with.
