Every single human being is neurologically predisposed to be biased in various walks of life. It is biologically impossible to be absolutely free from all biases, nevertheless, the more a person rigorously trains the self to be rational and conscientious, the more that self becomes strong enough to keep the biases in check, never to let them run rampant over the psyche.

The term βmusalmanβ refers to someone with βmusallam imanβ, that means, a pure conscience.

If to a person religion means reading books and obeying every single word from it without the slightest bit of reasoning, then such perception would only bring destruction upon the person and the world. Also there are people who use the words from those books to justify their own filthy actions. Letβs take a conservative Muslim, for example. Say, the conservative Muslim male Homo sapiens (I wonβt call such creature a human, regardless of the religion, since his action here shows no sign of humanity) is found to be beating his wife. Now, if someone says to him βthis is wrongβ, he would naturally reply, βthis is a divine thing to do, my book says soβ. Now, if a Christian says βmy book is older, so you should stop obeying your book and start obeying mineβ, there will come the Buddhist, and say, βmy book is much older still, obey mineβ. Then will come the Jew, and say, βmy book is even older, so just follow mineβ. And in the end will come the Hindu and say βmy books are the oldest of all, obey themβ. Therefore referring to books will only make a mess of the human race and tear the species into pieces.

With indifference people are continuously breeding a society full of disparity β they are constantly aiding the creation of more inequality. We are constantly making way for a world where some parents give their kids x-box to soothe them, for their birthday, and many more parents are forced to use leftover cardboard boxes as cradle for their babies because they don't even have a roof over their head. This is our so called civilization - this is our so called modern humanity - shame on us - shame on us as a species - shame on us as civilized beings - shame on us as thinking and breathing individuals of conscience. No more - no more - we must break this disparity - and we must do it right now - and we are not going to do it by fighting over whose ideology is the best - we are going to do it only by taking actual responsibility of our society - by taking actual responsibility of the world - we are going to do it by acting as a living cure for those disparities, by using our own resources as means to erase those gaps however we can. Only with action born from our heart can we end disparity, not with talks of argument and inaction of complacency.
