8. Jiddu Krishnamurti, on the rag called the flag, and nationalism:

“We are very defensive, and therefore aggressive, when we hold on to a particular belief, a dogmas, or when we worship our particular nationality, with the rag that is called the flag.”—Jiddu Krishnamurti

"We don’t see the danger of nationalism or the danger of living with fear. We have got used to the danger of nationalism. It is part of our pleasure: the flag-waving, the shouting, the singing. They planted the American flag on the moon – just think of it! Or the Russian flag or your particular flag – it is the same thing. You don’t see the danger of it. It breeds war, antagonism, separation, economic differences, the rich and the poor, and all the rest of the agony of division, resistance, hate and war."—Jiddu Krishnamurti
