I was born a human being. If I remained one I would be able to relate with another human without any difficulty. I would be able to relate with other beings, birds and beast, equally easily.
There would be no fear and no need to defend.
However, as soon as I was born, the process of limiting my identity began. I was classified on the basis of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity and so on. Later I joined the band wagon of classification. I started placing my identity in new pigeon holes based on profession, political ideology, culture, sexual orientation and so on.
Today I don't know who I am.
How can I relate with others then?
