Q: “The chief causes of large-scale violence are: love of power, competition, hate and fear.” Do you agree? Explain your answer.
Ans: Yes, I do agree with the statement that the chief causes of large-scale violence are love of power, competition, hate and fear.The mankind has witnessed enough destruction, hunger, exploitation and war due to these things.
But now the question arises that how can we overpower these evils. Religion is the best thing but is it practicable? No, most of the wars have been fought in the name of religion. Then .what is the solution of this problem? How can we save mankind from third world war?
I think the sermon seems very nice when we hear that we should love one another irrespective of their religion, language, caste or creed. We have been listening this sermon for many centuries. The result is not good. Man is not safe rather insecure and the invention of weapons of mass destruction are adding to his insecurity.
The practicable idea should be found. In the eyes of E.M. Forster, the practicable idea is to adopt tolerance.
We cannot love one another but we can tolerate one another. We should let others live to get the right of peaceful survival for ourselves. Forster gives a very powerful plea in the favour of his idea that how come a man in Pero can love a person who lives thousands of miles away from him. There is nothing common among them. They cannot feel for one another but they can tolerate one another. If I give you the right to live, if I do not interfere with your religion and culture, you will pay me back in the same way and there will be peace in the world. The world has seen a lot of destruction in the two world wars. Even atom bomb was used on two cities of Japan.
The future of our coming generations will be safe if we tolerate one another. The time will come when we shall leave, hatred, violence and cut-throat competition. There will be no fear and a perfect peaceful culture will last for the times to come.
We, the people of the world, should adopt tolerance as a golden principle necessary for peace.
