I stick with Oscar Hammerstein: "You've got to be taught Before it's too late, Before you are six Or seven or eight, To hate all the people Your relatives hate. You've got to be carefully taught."
I am not a Shakespeare buff, but I found this quote the other day and think it reflects most of what I try to put on here:
"And this our life, exempt from public haunt, / Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, / Sermons in stones, and good in everything." -William Shakespeare, playwright and poet (1564-1616)... I hope you find something on here you can enjoy. Thanks for visiting my little corner of town where the nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does. And I can even post pictures to prove it!

Yes though I think extreme nationalism is currently the worst. Religion can be but many aren't.
"In one’s need to be “right” someone else must be wrong."
Sometimes, yes; sometimes, no. Maybe you didn't really mean to propose a complete dichotomy, but I couldn't tell from the sentence alone.
