When one group of people is isolated from the realm of humanity, the group becomes objectified. If they are no longer people then it is easy to spew hate upon them. It is easier to withdraw love if a person is viewed as a non-living being. We can also objectify those we love, manipulating a person or group towards one’s desires of use or misuse. As long as the person or people are objects and not related to us we suffer in isolation. The path of meditation brings us back into harmony with everything and everyone, back into the utter and profound interrelationship of life.
