Shaivaites and Vaishnavaites: A Conflict I Wish Never Happened

Daily writing prompt
If you could erase one event from history, what would it be?

There are so many incidents….

If I could erase one event from history, I would probably erase the conflicts that happened between Shaivaites and Vaishnavaites over the question of which God is greater.

I find it pointless to argue about whether Shiva is greater than Vishnu or Vishnu is greater than Shiva. For me, both represent the same divine reality, expressed in different forms.

Unfortunately, there have been times in history when religious differences turned into hostility and conflict. People suffered because of arguments over beliefs that, in my opinion, should have brought people closer rather than divided them.

I wish those incidents had never happened.
