📝The Classic Answers

Mozi offered universal love, drawing no sides, as the remedy for a world in disorder. The borders that split people into ally and enemy look solid, yet cross that line to sit together and the same hunger, the same longing appear. What divides us is often not the real but an illusion we agreed to believe. Before setting someone up as mere enemy by the lines of nation and rank, I choose first to see the same human beyond the line.
