ANALYSIS
“All men are born free and equal,” writes the great American poet Robert Frost. “They are free at least in their right to be different.”
We all may be different, but we have just this one world to live in. Some of us are extroverts; some are introverts. But the fact of the matter is that we all need one another! We cannot live like islands, cut off from the rest of humanity. Therefore we must learn to respect others and live and work amicably with them. Civility is as essential among nations as it is among people!
To retain a sense of proportion, to maintain a proper perspective on life, it is important to respect others.
Respect others. Praise them, appreciate them and forget your own little self. Don’t enforce one belief, one way of worship or one code of conduct for all. Do not attempt to destroy different forms of worship, claiming your own way to be the only right one.
