The situation at Myanmar: How can this and others like it stop, now and forever?

Yesterday I watched the briefing of the UN Security Council on the plight of the Rohingya suffered at the hands of Myanmar Military and their currently state as refugees in Bangladesh.

As I listened to representatives from UNDP, UNHCR and several Countries speak for the refugees, this thought keep plaguing me: How can we get the perpetrators and people like them to stop themselves from harming others before they lose their souls?

I am happy for organizations like the United Nations, and for the Countries around the world working towards ending these atrocities and providing support to refugees.

I am happy for democratic laws that can hold people accountable for their crimes and deter others from committing atrocities against another person or people.

How can we get the perpetrators of such crimes to stop themselves?

How can we teach these perpetrators that abusing those they see as “different” is a behavior of lowness not honor?

Should we teach our fellow humans that our world is much better if we learn to accept and cherish each other’s difference, because that is what’s going to keep our world from vanishing?
