Human brotherhood

MONO -ANTHROPISM (Anthropo means human being.)

“Humanity has come to monotheism, faith in one God, thousands of years ago. However, if common values are to be found, a meaning that applies to all, humanity now has to come to a further conscience, the awareness of the one humanity. Monotheism is not enough; it will not do. What we need is not only the belief in the one God but also the awareness of the one mankind, the awareness of the unity of humanity. I would call it "mon-anthropism..”

Viktor Frankl, Der Wille zum Sinn, 1991, p. 34, transl. JClarke

 from Tamil Sangam literature :
The earth is packed full of molecules,
the sky is supported by the earth, 
patience
the air embraces the sky, 
 extensive wisdom
the fire encounters the air, 
strength
and the water -- mercy
is hostile to the fire. – destruction of enemies

Like, in nature, to the five elements, you bear with your enemies; you possess extensive wisdom, you have strength, you have might destroy and mercy to protect
