LIVING TOGETHER

Take into account any two persons out of this world. Compare their views on any of the topics. They may be alike or different from each other. Now, compare their views on all the topics of the world. It is impossible that all their views are alike or all are different from each other. Rather, alikenesses or differences will be mixed i.e. some will be alike & some different. The number of alike views or different ones , however, can not be determined.

Taking the vastness of difference of people's views what should be the standard way of living ? Should we not respect the contrary views of others ? And so far taking decision is concerned, should we not bind ourselves with a majority decision even if we differ with the view ? And that too, with a sense of great respect ?

Are our politicians habituated in that practice ? Even how many of us, from among the common people, habituated ? I get pained when I see there are many friends throwing mud on each others ( having a different view on a ceertain matter ) in spite of their claim to belong to ( they appear to act so ) an intellectual community on their respective blogs or on a common platform such as on मोहल्ला .

I must not dare to preach others but are we really destined to accept there is no way to correct our own internal mental set-up ?
