As stated in the Dhammapada, for the sustenance of the society, relationships cannot be based on :

  • A.Enmity
  • B.Non-co-operation
  • C.Anarchy
  • D.Absurdity

Answer: A

Relationships cannot be based on Enmity.

The Dhammapada (verses 3-5) teaches that hatred is never appeased by hatred but only by non-hatred, which is an eternal law. Social relationships sustained by enmity only produce more of it, so friendliness and forgiveness are what hold a community together.

Non-co-operation, anarchy and absurdity are not the theme of these verses, which turn on hatred and its overcoming.
