The situation in india has been discussed in malaysia where the Prime Minister is hosting a conference of Muslim LeadersMahathir Mohamad says he understands why people are angry. It is. Because india is a secularist see from the very beginning that is the people did not prevent them from becoming citizens is the is is all these were but the to exclude.

A court of pakistan has sentenced a University Lecturer to death for blasphemy janae toughies was arrested in 2013 accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad on facebook he spent nearly 6 years in solitary confinement waiting for his trial youre up to date with the headlines on aljazeera studio b. Unscripted is coming up next thanks for watching. One of the things that i think is hard about social media considering its called social media its like one of the media when you think of the word. Meaning that there is such a thing is a. Thing even isnt useful well i think weve seen aljazeera now you and i in to solve a culture of love. Charity to the odds what is broken and. Im alan to bottle a philosopher and. Im way sure it can be a stylist and a writer we do a lot with philosophy here i founded the school of life to fill a void in our current Education Systems the teaching of emotional intelligence. I explore ideas we often call problematic to me theyre the most revealing the most interesting. I want people to look up the way i dont want people to have to rely on names to say anything. Im curious about questions like should not have. Our expectations of happiness making us unhappy do we need more. How can we be more thoughtful after all we are all humans imperfect and maybe also a little bit weird. Thanks. For being here and id rather we could just chat about i mean. This is the chance to start the revolution that i think you and i. Think we believe in what we believe in love love. And compassion and empathy and thats actually where i wanted to start because ive always been drawn to your work because i find it quite refreshing i find most things can be quite divisive and ive always liked your take it seems like you are more willing to understand than you are to judge and condemn recently ive seen a lot more studies about how and is actually tearing us apart having too much empathy can create more aggression towards outgroups so i just wondered what you thought about that do you think that he can be quite dangerous look i think ultimately behind your question its like how can we create a kinder more compassionate world we get inside the minds of other people and respond optimally and i think the root of kindness is knowing that you are sinful if you can accept that you are not a totally good person then you can start to accept that others are not going to be totally good i that you can learn to forgive them to expect forgiveness of the things youve done wrong and to forgive in time so its a Virtuous Cycle of charity we get so much stuff wrong with steering blind. I think its amazing how we build a world where nowadays we really kind to children but were still not very good at being kind to the childlike parts of one another and we all have a 3 year old inside the senate will really go is that though it doesnt really go i mean think of the way. If you got a kid and lets imagine you come home from work youre tired youre hungry you prepare the kids some dinner and its 2 years old and you say looked i have cut you some dinner and they can go through the whole thing on the floor what are you going to do to that kid hit it condemn it judge it you know youre going to try and think of reasons why that kid has not behaved optimally and you think maybe the kids tired maybe the kids feeling jealousy is confuse you can try to find an explanation which takes the edge off the dark interpretation then you part a comes home and theyre a little bit short with you and you go what why is that person short with me and you think because theyre out to get me because they no longer love me because that is their arrogantly and why actually they sure because theyre tired and we should extend some of the similar kind of charity i mean. Dont you agree that in some ways. We condemn too much and we understand so little i think we find it hard to believe that other people are going through what we are i think we think that we live in our own unique suffering and the nature of our suffering and hardships might be you know slightly more nuanced than different but for the most part people are all going through their own personal hell thats a beautiful sentence that everybodys going through their own personal hell i really want to psychoanalyst saying to me i said to him what was one thing that most people miss about other people he said anxious. And you know part of the problem is that we know ourselves from the inside but we only know other people from what they choose to tell us and they tell us such an edited range of things so all of us and that thinking that were very weird and i think like a good society is one in which more and more of the reality of what it is to be human which is its kind of chaotic and no one knows when and its going on. Bubble up to the surface and you can be more honest about what its like if it was to where the imposter syndrome and like we all think that you know we are impostors and everybody else is going on everybody feels like an impostor i dont think anyone knows what im doing right now i think were all so sort of winging it here and i think you hear a lot more honest about we would. Take a lot more comfort and not judge people or sort of feel a bitterness towards other people for what we perceive to be then having all of this privilege where they dont feel anything negative so i think if we all realize that were going through this imposter syndrome in the situations that make us all anxious and fearful and a lot of the things there we condemn and the things that people do that we perceive to be horrible and maybe are horrible are really didnt hear. For me i think a lot of things are more rooted in fear than hatred i think its so true isnt that basically most of bad behavior in here is coming out of fear and anxiety yes it is really kind of weird because the behavior may be bad right now were all saying like dont condemn the behavior here you can look at the origins of it can think ok fact is that came from fear and anxiety then it is you are dealing with Something Different i mean what do you think of the word evil or do you think that there is such a thing is a useful word i dont think evil is a useful word and recently actually i was reading a book by. A psychologist called talk to juliet schor and she made this book or the Science Behind evil and one of the great things that she said is that we need to do away with the word evil because it stops conversation where it should begin and thats what happens we Say Something is evil and then we no longer think about it anymore thats just what it is that the diagnosis theyre evil therefore we dont have to think about what theyre doing but i think things take a very different picture when we start thinking about for actually you know what led to this kind of behavior i know ive gone through a lot of things in my own personal life you know tragedy even where things happened you know like someone in my in my family was killed and of course you know you feel high and you feel a lot of anger and you feel aggression but one of the main things that i thought about was well how does this young person get to a place in their life where they can take someones life and for stuff that can see you know that is what it was about it was for material things that will lose their value in a year or maybe less and and so i think when we start to lost ourselves that question maybe uncomfortable thing for people is that we might see the minutes of ourselves in them you mention tragedy i mean if you think of the media the media every day is dealing with stories and its putting it in. Perpetration on those stories basically whos a goody and whos a bad its very good kind of culture but in our culture we also have this example of tragic art like you know the ancient greeks invented this really weird thing called tragedy and you know the great tragedies of the great tradition but also then of literature more broadly what they often do is they take somebody who the media might say thats just a loser or thats a bradley and they show us how that person got there so you think of dostoyevsky if you take a murderer and i could basically make us feel something really unusual which is ending up murdering somebody doesnt just make you a weirdo or a mad person you can be human thats a terrifying youre also fascinating the air thats what makes i want to see if hes such a lesson for our times because what hes saying is you could be a murderer and still human i think were afraid of the gray sometimes because were a bit too. Eager to label things good or bad whenever im thinking about things i think about helpful and helpful i think. In a way in a less judge mental way to think about peoples behavior so even if i dont like something i wont allow myself to not like something because i think its bad and so like i said this story that happened in my family with you know someone passing away. And it was very close to me that really that really taught me something because you know i i saw a choice in that situation i could either you know respond. To coldness and maybe developing developing prejudices against the type of person who fits the description of the of the culprit in this situation. But who would that serve right it wouldnt. Make me quite a fearful person and so it was from there where i was just kind of like there has to be another way you are somebody who greets the world with love and i think love is such a misunderstood word we associate it so narrowly with romantic love with finding somebody beautiful and impressive and being amazed by them thats not really love i mean theres another version of love which is really showing charity and imagination towards another person so when you see bad behavior your 1st thought is how did that person get the whats the child inside that person that person who is now not all the angry and whatever was once a vulnerable infant what happened to that person here and we were given much encouragement love here we are in london and lots of big buildings i mean one someone was saying if you want to know what a society values look at the tallest buildings in that society what are they devoted to well most of our big towers are devoted to banking and you know thats thats interesting far from love you know we used to have some skylights where the largest most impressive building was devoted to love we need a bit of glamour yeah around the act of loving so i think weve seized aljazeera now unite to solve a culture of love you know a lot of the sheer meaning charity what is broken in us i think and imagination yeah and i think we can look everybody up over the way and go for it start the religion of love the end of the religion religion is a no no. You know what i mean by cool is completely its not very glamorous as you say and its not a very sexy idea to think of love beyond the remit of you know we often think there is we are. Understand them were condoning it you know so and i think thats quite dangerous or maybe unhelpful should i say we do with you but love is an emotion only feel in the presence of someone wonderful rather than a skill that you have to practice soon in order to get better at it. In order to make the world a more livable place that love actually needs to be exercised not in front of Something Wonderful but in some front of something difficult thats when you need the love results of love muscle exactly i mean any way anyone can love something thats terrific but can you love something thats not to riff exactly i think these are the reasons why i think things like kindness and compassion empathy i think theyre fairly radical acts and i think theyre radical acts because theyre quite hard to do yell at least things were easy then they wouldnt be you know they just be things that would be a given everybodys got strengths tied to those strengths or weaknesses so lets imagine somebody whos very punctual thats a really good strength and thats fantastic it will have some weaknesses associated with it someone is very punctual might also be sometimes quite rigid sometimes quite overanxious or Something Like that but if you only ever see the rigidity and overanxiety youll think why why did this person even come into my life but if you pause and say it was over how what is the crude quality or of which this bad piece of behavior is connected so i always think ill take the bad behavior and try and build a bridge in the nearest possible good quality maybe we should use this moment to check what the audience things that were great about love and all of these ideas that were talking about i guess. My question is finally. Youve been quite critical about romantic comedies and the disproportionate focus on falling in love and finding the one if you had the chance to produce a film about love what you focus on in who it. The world. I mean you know the real challenge of love is not how to get together with somebody thats the most exciting thing we always want to have people get together thats the fun thing but the thing we really struggle with is how do you keep love going over the long term i think you know hollywood film of the last 30 years has anyone ever done the laundry people dont do laundry in movies but i think we need to show that a lot of life is bound up in issues of domesticity and i think people become very ill tempered with one another very often when they live together because they keep thinking something very dangerous they keep thinking this is true trivial to have an argument about to discuss i dont want to talk about the socks because like ive never seen anybody else discussing socks but actually these things should be made glamorous and interesting and legitimate subjects for conversation so that we will be patient when we go climbing a mountain we practice for ages we get the gear we know its not going to be easy to climb mt everest when we start living together we think that certain things are going to be really easy so for example people are reluctant to talk about money their breakfast habits how to arrange a cutlery draw how to feel about the inlaws cetera and then these things become enormous flash points because they arent given the dignity of the seriousness which does actually underlie these topics so i think that we need works of art that will prepare us for what life is actually like and i think the most works of art do something completely different i think most of us in this audience probably feel that the way that our love lives unfold seems so strange compared to what we know that they should unfold if were listening to the movies and that suggest were making the wrong movies not that were weird but the movie industry is very weird as a teacher im quite interested in thinking about how we could bring about a sea change in education about love about these deeper and more complicated in organic versions of love but i think at the root of them a needs to be a deeper discussion about how to encourage vulnerability in the classroom and i wondered what both of you had to say about that i think we often think that roman. Well its he is a witness but again vulnerability is hard you know which would actually suggest its quite a strength you know if you can be vulnerable in public and to say what you want because a lot of what we want weve been taught somewhere maybe by caregivers by parents by the media that we take in. What we warn is shame for and what we want should in juice kill and maybe what we want may not be the best thing for us but to be able to voice whatever those things are i think are really important i think its important for creativity i think its important in terms of knowing yourself and i think the more that we get to know ourselves and the more we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and so i think if we want so build a culture that has a lot less shamed and a lot less
