DON’T LIVE IN SUSPICION

There will be no unity and solidarity in such a society. This being so, its members will lose their self-confidence and will not venture to launch any large-scale projects. This is because such projects need collective efforts, and collective efforts are not possible in a society where people live in an atmosphere of suspicion. Suspicion is not a solitary evil; it leads to many other evils. Suspicion is like a poisonous weed which rapidly multiplies in a jungle of moral evils. Suspicion has no plus points. On all counts it has only negative points. Anyone who wants to inculcate sound thinking in his mind must avoid suspicion at all costs. When the individual develops the habit of suspicion, it gradually becomes his second nature. He starts suspecting everything, he loses conviction and he feels that every person except himself is a suspicious person. He does not realize that suspicion is the result of confused thinking and that having a suspicious nature is very dangerous for himself as well as for other individuals. Suspicion is a kind of confusion, and confusion is like poison to the mind. It is quite in order to form opinions about others, but it is completely wrong to form opinions about others based on suspicion. o Anyone who wants to inculcate sound thinking in his mind must avoid suspicion at all costs. Peace leads to progress and development War depends entirely on the aggressive use of weaponry and can only be a source of destruction.
