This podcast song was penned in light of the current crisis in Israel-Palestine as well as Russia-Ukraine, but also reflects upon the countless unnecessary wars and battles over centuries in the name of politics and religion. Human beings have advanced in warfare to the extent that they can now destroy entire cities or communities with the push of a button, as seen with the atomic bomb - a prime example of the destructive extent of humankind. Furthermore, warfare has become increasingly insensitive when it comes to harming, abducting and bombing children and women.
Where do we stand as the human race? Despite evolutionary changes and social advancement, humans in general are unable to restrain themselves and maintain peace.
Humanity needs to come towards peace regardless of the situation and reflect upon the wrongs committed under political or religious pretexts. The concept that is very difficult to entertain in any religious denomination is that a person from a different faith is just as special and has a role in God’s plan. Together we are whole, and as we come together hand in hand, the artificial borders created by us will disappear on their own. We will thrive as humans once more. We're all part of God’s spirit and one with God. The world belongs to all of us. It is time for us to revisit old teachings and forge a new path to let humanity shine. Once we label someone, we tend to automatically divide them. We divide each other based on our names as well as our faith. We fail to see that we are indeed all connected.

Bridging divides. Religion can be used for good or bad. Historically, have contributed to the development of culture, moral systems, and art. They have also been behind social justice, community building, and compassion among members within religious communities. However, religion has also been used to justify wars, persecute civilizations, and discriminate against others.
Mohammed K Paika:People who are devoutly religious can be led to believe that they are divinely chosen above other groups. Once we label someone, we tend to automatically divide them. We divide each other based on our names as well as our faith. We fail to see that we are indeed all connected. Though the world has advanced technologically and scientifically, our minds still cling to past prejudice.
Mohammed K Paika:The time has come for a genuine shift to see the inherent unity behind our diversity. As we open our eyes to recognize our shared essence, separation falls away. When we relate to the basic humanity in each other, compassion flows unobstructed.
