Various forms of compelled identification, oppositional stances, and the like are invisible shackles that we humans impose upon ourselves and others.

Our choice between binary opposition and non-opposition leads to different perspectives in our thinking, debate, judgment, and decisions, as well as different behaviors and attitudes in our interactions with others. For example, astronauts on the moon, looking down at Earth from its perspective, saw that all races and species on Earth were one.

In other words, so-called forced national identity on Earth, or forced ethnic, political, religious, or cultural identities, are invisible shackles that we humans impose on ourselves and others. Not content with self-imposed constraints, we also use various means to bind others. These shackles are even imposed by cunning and manipulative individuals for their own selfish gain, used to manipulate the world. If we are wise enough, we will know how to break free from these shackles and avoid being manipulated by those with ulterior motives.

At the same time, we can stand at a higher level and think about problems and treat others with a more sophisticated attitude. Of course, the protection, management, and maintenance of national borders are necessary, just as important as the security and management of our own residences. However, we will not hate or be hostile to others, disagree with them, or manipulate them under any pretext simply because we live there. We will only take precautions against malicious aggressors, but we will not necessarily hate, be hostile to, or harm them.
