366 days of wisdom (November 14, 2020)

Day 319 of wisdom

“The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.”

Jawaharlal Nehru

Peaceful coexistence is the only way through which the human race can build a better world, secure a greater future and overcome every enemy that rises against us in whatever form. The extent to which we have coexisted has brought us to the current situation in which we now find ourselves. There are no alternatives to coexistence, the only that exist is 'co-destruction', anything short of living peacefully together is anti-human and a destruction to our growth and progress.

We must find means of educating our minds to accept the reality of our diversity, and leverage on them as tools for forming progressive partnerships and unions that will guarantee us the future we all desire, and will be proud to leave for the generations yet unborn. We must share our similarities and celebrate our differences, rather than fight ourselves over them. The world would be in disarray and in absolute shambles, if we all are monotonous, progress will be just a mirage in the endeavours of humanity.

In the words of Albert Einstein who said, "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." We must seek to understand ourselves in all situations, we must seek peace, and be willing to live peaceably with all men, not esteeming one person over the other, but seeing each other as brothers and children of same parents. We must stand united or fall divided. We are one and until we see ourselves so, we will never see a world where peace and justice will reign.

Robert Muller once said, "Only the unity of all can bring the well-being of all." We cannot all live fulfilled lives if we do not stand together as one, our differences only enriches our experiences, but the absence of differences impoverishes us. We either live together in peaceful coexistence or we cease to exist. Tolerance is key to our progress, we must therefore be tolerant towards ourselves and see our differences as building blocks. Live and let live.
