(a) We are disposing of; betraying and criticising our fellow beings. 

(b) We sometimes hate our brothers because we allow vested and unscrupulous politicians and religious leaders to instigate us. We are taken in by their lies about our differences and begin to consider our brothers as strange and foreign. 

(c) We shall dispossess ourselves by disliking our brothers in other parts of the world when we are told by the politically driven people to do so. These brothers cannot become foreign or strange just because they belong to different countries, races and cultures. 

(d) By going to war, we harm ourselves as much as we harm the enemy. The environmental pollution makes this earth an equally unhealthy place to live in for both sides that go to war. 

(e) The aftermaths of hatred are violence, communal disharmony and inhuman behaviour.

(f) All of them are bound by the common bond of humanity. Hence the poet calls all the , strangers and foreigners as brothers.
