Accountability Begins With You

English book, p. 254

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

One common weakness of human beings is that they think of themselves as more than they actually are. This is the root of most conflicts. People around you see the real version of you—but you may have a higher image of yourself in your mind. This mismatch between perception and reality causes clashes. This issue exists not just in individuals but in communities, too. And the only way to resolve it is through a mindset of realism. Apart from realism, there is no solution. All India Radio, Delhi, 21 and 23 April 1981.
