In our life there can be several occasions when we may have differences with others. Two human beings cannot exactly be the same in physical structure or in mental make up.
Variety is there in all nature and it adds up to the beauty of nature. So, variegated opinions are always more beautiful and charming. They add taste to dull and desolate human life. They are the essence of democratic thinking. Regimentation, uniformity and similarity are the attributes of a Dictatorial and Fascist attitude.
There have been great cruelties and persecutions in the world in the name of religion, nation, race and caste. Innocent people have been tortured and maimed. Even little children and women have not been spared. Ever since the creation of this world, the poor animals have borne the brunt of human wrath.
We must all realize that this world is the only place where all of us have to live. We have no other world where we may run away. The best course for us is to adopt the policy of "Live and Let Live." This is what great men like the Buddha and Guru Nanak have taught us.
We should not forget the fact that God is the one creator of this universe. He has created all kinds of creatures in this world. They are all supposed to live in peace and harmony. Man is the crown of all creation. He claims to be the only civilized creature. At least, he should learn and follow the policy of universal love, peace and brotherhood. Narrow parochial, linguistic, racial, religious and even national aspirations should be given up. Let there be one World Government, one world citizenship. The policy of "Live and Let Live" is the dire need of the time.
