Ideology
Photo by Kate Ter Har
“People are not naturally cruel. They become cruel when they are unhappy — or when they succumb to an ideology.
If religious people had always followed the instinct of their heart rather than the logic of their religion, we would have been spared the sight of heretics burning at stakes, widows walking into funeral pyres, and millions of innocent people slaughtered in wars that are waged in the name of God.
Compassion has no ideology.”
– Anthony de Mello
