Hatred, jealousy, and fear hinder peace of mind. When you're angry or unforgiving, for example, your mental suffering is constant. It is better to forgive than to spoil your peace of mind with ill feelings.

We need to find secular ways to cultivate warm-heartedness. We need secular ways to educate ourselves about inner values. The source of a happy life is within us. Trouble makers in many parts of the world are often quite well educated, so it is not just education that we need. We need to pay attention to inner values.

Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things are true relative to other things long and short relate to each other, high and low, and so on. But is there any absolute truth? Something self-sufficient, independently true in itself? I don't think so.
