I exist because of you and vice versa

We live in an interdependent system where everything depends on everything else,In all we eat and wear the infinite labour of many is involved;noone is an island.We need to depend on others for our needs. The same is also the case with them
So  while this interdependence is obvious and apparent and all of us influence and interest each other  how come hostility, hatred and all kinds of enemity creep in  and there is a dance of violence all around
Jalaluddin said long ago: the existence mine on earth depends upon the lives of my fellow beings.I exist because of you and vice versa”
His classic saying “go beyond your own needs and merge yourself into the ocean of compassion”.
The recent Cauvery water row is a fitting testimony of the dominance of hatred over love, insanity over reason and throwing away of all the canons of ethics and principles of federalism.
Two neighboring states behave like enemy territories and the idea of India is hardly visible ;indeed the surgical operation must have been conducted to discipline the rogue neighbor  but alas  this is a country where the short sighted politicians eye only on the election prospects ignoring the long run ramifications of their action on the very survival and unity of this nation which is more of a continent size….All of us are together on the map but not at all having the spirit of  Indian and TN has suffered more for parading that spirit of  Indian and displaying a cultured behaviour
