Live and Let Live

LIVE AND LET LIVE

"We have to live and let live in order to create what we are." These are the words spoken out by Albert Camus, a Noble Prize winning author, journalist and philosopher. Living a customary life is stress-free but for letting others to live, we need a lot of characters like generous, sincerity and friendly nature. A person who always looks into his/her own matters do not think of others' stand and privacy. The proverb live and let live asks us to change such characters. When we decided to do a certain action, we should think of others especially the neighbours that whether the action would disturb them or not. Even though it is a right action think for a second before doing because sometimes a right action for one person may seem bad for others. When we started to think of others our life would automatically become prosperous with the blessing of other people and the God.

When we live and let live, we don't need to criticize, judge, or condemn others. We no need to control them or try to compromise them to our way of thinking. We let others live their own lives and we live ours. This simple slogan helps centre us on our own dual recovery and on living our own life in the best way we know how. Live and let live is one of the keys to peace in our lives. When we practice tolerance in our lives we are liberated to work on our own issues. When we use this slogan, we end many of the conflicts in our lives and gain the ability to stop new ones before they build into big ones.

Live and let live means not only letting others to live but also giving respect to their stand, privacy and freedom. We should not allow anybody to get into our privacy and on the other hand we should not let our nose into others' matters unless they call us for help. Practicing life in this way will help us to keep ourselves free from fight, quarrel, conflict and contradiction with others. A person who is leaving others to live will experience his life to be.
