While the author has at times felt being “on top of the world”, he cannot claim any personal experience of “life at the top”. However, being a keen witness and a dogged student, the common idea of “top” fascinates him. After all, a crazed race to “the top” inevitably leads to injustice, crime and war. But anyone obsessed with “reaching the top” can provide only a self-serving report of his or her life. Therefore an objective if light-hearted study is attempted here.

Any voluntary action that an individual performs originates as an inner urge. The urge may be “towards” something, or “away from” something; it may also be based on a wrong understanding of reality. These three states of mind can be termed as “craving”, “aversion” and “illusion”, respectively… If the above are generally applicable observations, then they apply even in a conflict situation – to persons engaged in a conflict, to persons who provoke a conflict, and to persons who escape from conflict or hardship.

9 Apr 2018
Le fait d’acheter des poissons provenant d’une animalerie n’est pas une activité ou un hobby banal et contribue à faire fructifier une industrie génératrice de souffrance et de dommages environnementaux. Au niveau de l’individu, il est important de rappeler que le poisson, bien que n’attirant généralement que peu la compassion chez la plupart des gens, est un être animal sentient, social et intelligent qui a le désir et l’intérêt à vivre dans son milieu naturel plutôt qu’en captivité.

Dr. Naresh Jotwani – TRANSCEND Media Service,
12 Mar 2018
Coercion implies the absence of compassion, and usually also at least some lack of perspicacity. “Leaders” and their “inner circle” tend to take the position that any feeling or view which is judged to be at variance with “collective goals and values” needs to be suppressed – or even perhaps “rooted out”. Within an individual’s psyche, power generates ambition and rapacity.

Identity and Peace
Dr. Naresh Jotwani – TRANSCEND Media Service,
5 Feb 2018
Until the birth of the modern nation state, people lived in tribal groups. Commerce as well as skirmishes would have been common between tribes. In those days the tribe played a crucial role in shaping a child’s identity. In the modern world, economically defined ‘class’ also plays a big role in defining a person’s identity. Therefore we may use the word ‘tribe’ with this broader meaning of ‘identity group’ — subsuming both ‘caste’ and ‘class’.
