Just as every human being has his own unique finger print, all of us possess distinct view and opinion of our own. Different perspectives and perceptions of every individual put together would make the world a colourful and a beautiful place to live in, if every human being learns to admire, respect and accept each other without prejudice and discrimination.
Some people react as if it’s the end of the world for them if somebody contradicts their point of view. Some even resort to bullying and threatening the person who disagrees with his observation and opinion. We need to educate this lot by showing them how to handle the opinion of other people and gently tell them that it’s okay to have different opinions and that, things can be settled in a better and peaceful manner.
Perhaps, learning to accept and living with people that you consider outlandish or with people that you think are just not your type, is one of the hardest things to do. Even if you start to acknowledge people around you, things are not going to change in a flash, there’s still the danger of some few people who’ll ignorantly try to tempt you to go back to square one. But through experience, my suggestion is to (if you really want to harmonize your community) restrain yourself from making the mistake of retaliating. Remember to stay cool, no matter what. Because that’s when you really feel victorious, because you’ve shown your fellow folks how everyone can contribute in making our world a better place to live in.
