By saying ‘this is wrong’, one is selling (wasting away) an invaluable human life!

Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote

The very idea that it is wrong to kill a human being is a terrible thing. We see the slaughter of animals as something to be ignored, but we think nothing of the slaughter of humans. In fact, we seem to glorify those who commit these atrocities. To those who say ‘this is wrong’, I say ‘if this is wrong, then why does everyone do it?’ The very idea that it is wrong is a terrible thing and one must wonder why people persecute and hurt others.

Why does everyone do it? It is because we are weak and we do not want to feel guilty about our actions. We persecute others so we don’t have to feel guilty for our actions. This quote asks us to keep in mind the value of every human life and whether or not they should be killed.
