One of the chief causes of hatred and strife is the belief that a particular class or race is superior to another. A child is neither class nor race conscious; it is the home or school environment, or both, that makes him feel separative. In himself, he does not care whether his playmate is black, or a Jew, a Brahmin or a non-Brahmin, but the influence of the whole social structure continually impinges on his mind, affecting and shaping it. Here again, the problem is not with the child but the adults, who have created a senseless environment of separatism and false values.
