of view could be born of observation, sincere and all-sided observation, having the wholeness and humanity's good before it.
The moment one observes, honestly observes and realizes the unprecented existence of the undercurrent of Ego and its various products, the process of its melting, eradicating or transformation takes place consciously or unconsciously and the welfare of the whole world comes in the forefront and that of one's own next. The consideration and compassion for others take place and the process of eradication of violence & wars, takes shape through various means. But mad fanaticism of one's self superiority complex or fear complex does not allow one to come to this stage of the transformation of Ego and Realization of Total truth.
Unless this transformation has taken place and unless an individual or a nation realizes this all of his/its so called contributions & tremendous constructions in the world are going to be just like a flop. May they be in whatever fields - they are going to result into multiplication of problems of the earth and ultimately to bring the destruction.
Hence, the gravest problem facing the Humanity is EGO, the Birthplace of VIOLENCE, and WARS & WEAPONS - EGO of persons & people of Race & Nation, of Kings & Politicians.
Will any one realize that the Collective or Individual Egoes of the balanced sound rulers, the Kings, the Politicians are the root cause of the Wars & disasters & various problems facing the Humanity?
If one's reasoning does not allow him to accept this, the record of the History of the wars of the world should be an eye-opener of course again, of one is 'OPEN' enough to accept.
History clearly provides a lot of Evidence that majority of the Wars - leaving the exceptions - were due to the Egoes & self centeredness of four-five Rulers or Politicians dragging the whole innocent mankind to the doom as an Indian Seer Philosopher & Poet has very rightly expressed in this factual couplet (poems).
"Many a tremendous wars were fought because of egos of a few victory-craving chieffains & woman!" (Zaverehanal Meghar YUG-VANDANA)
Same truth has been expressed by another poet "Dinkar" in another language (Hindi).
"Wars only for satisfying the Egoes and prides of Kings and increasing their proudness" (RASHMI RATIH)
in short these Egoes of the Rulers & Politicians have produced & continued violence and wars since the time immemorial.
