- Kjell Magne Bondevik
About this Quote
This quote by Kjell Magne Bondevik speaks with the existing state of the world, where extremists and populist motions are benefiting from people's fear of those who are different from them. This worry is being used to manipulate individuals into supporting their causes, which often include violence and terrorism. The consequences of this appear in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence, which have ended up being progressively typical over the last few years. This quote serves as a suggestion that we must be aware of the power of worry and how it can be used to manipulate people into supporting unsafe ideologies. We should likewise strive to create a more inclusive and tolerant society, where everybody is appreciated and accepted despite their distinctions. Only then can we want to decrease the frequency of extremism and violence in our world.
