Bigotryasanillness

According to me the biggest mental illness of them all is bigotry.
Any individual who is a bigot, is mentally ill.
The understanding that this illness will kill you,
your family,
your country,
and your planet,
is what you must understand if you suffer from this illness.
At this point, I must admit that there is a very slim chance that you do not suffer from this illness,
Because my understanding tells me that it has afflicted most if not all of us.
Among inherited diseases, this is the worst as it is coming to us from all the genes before us.
Fathers, forefathers, and in today's world, it is difficult indeed to tell who our forefathers are.
There is no shame at all in not being able to tell clearly, who our forefathers are as some of us only have on record our forefathers to two generations before us.
A mere 200 years back, some of us can go,
But what works in favour of a cure,
is the fact that
Science and religion and philosophy and literature have always been looking for cures.
Why the cure has eluded all of them is not because there is no cure,
the only reason is -- a reason all of the above admit is true -- that its cure has to come from within the individual alone.
There is no doctor, god/preacher, philosopher, writer, who can cure you.
They will help, of course,
for you to find the cure.

If you have been going to these above-mentioned people for help, I believe there is hope.

I feel the hope fading only when I think that maybe we have not been going to the right people at all.

If you want to come together as a society that wants to defeat bigotry, let me tell you, there is no way to do that, unless you make it political. It is only politics and politics alone that gets the people together.
You will have to make it a political issue and not let it just remain a personal or a professional or a communal issue.
The illness, when viewed from the prism of politics, is more comprehensible.
Anything that is comprehensible,
is vanquished right there at the moment of comprehension.
