I have watched nationalism in operation all over the world, and I say it is poisonous. So I am watching now if that poison is in operation in me. And when it comes out, I am there. There it is. I don’t do anything – there it is. I am aware of it; I am fully cognisant of it. Unless I see conflict is poisonous, actually see it, I’ll create other forms of conflict. So why don’t we see it? As we see fire burns, why don’t we see this?
