Mohan:
compulsive hostility as practiced by pakistan
Here are some verses that I found in Buddhist teachings.

There is no evil like hatred,
And no fortitude like patience.
Thus I should strive in various ways
to meditate on patience.

My mind will not experience peace
If it fosters painful thoughts of hatred
I shall find no joy or happiness;
unable to sleep, I shall feel unsettled

A master who has hatred
Is in danger of being killed
Even by those who for their wealth and happiness
Depend upon his kindness

In brief, there is nobody
Who lives happily with anger

Hence the enemy, anger,
Creates sufferings such as these,
But whoever assiduously overcomes it
Finds happiness now and hereafter.

Why be unhappy about something
If it can be remedied?
And what is the use of being unhappy about something
If it cannot be remedied?

For myself and for my friends
I want no suffering, no disrespect,
No harsh words and nothing unpleasant;
But for my enemies it is the opposite.

Since disrespect, harsh speech
And unpleasant words
Do not cause any harm to my body,
Why mind, do you become so angry?

-Because others will dislike me-
But since it will not devour me
Either in this life or in another life
Why do I not want this (dislike)?

Should someone else find joyous happiness
Upon praising (my enemy) as an excellent person,
Why, mind, do you not praise him too
And likewise make yourself happy?

Even if your enemy is made unhappy
What is there for you to be joyful about?
If you say,"For I shall be satisfied"
How could there be anything more wretched than that?
