With the rising trend of chaos, confusion, strife and conflicts in the community today, we urgently need to draft a charter of coexistence and frame rules toward that end. Today the community is like a rudderless boat drifting on a stormy sea. Live and let live is the path to coexistence. Let us live together, pray together, party together, wish well for each other like a loving family. Let us practice religion with reverence in our hearts and not bother about how others practice theirs. Most importantly, cultivate good thoughts, speak kindly to others and never hurt anyone. A heart filled with love shies away from causing hurt to others. When we are more concerned about the wellbeing of others than our own, we can make the world better.
We all share a fundamental wish to live a happy life with peace and harmony. Thanks to our kind and loving forefathers, we have the opportunity to progress in all walks of life. It is a shame that this minuscule community known for its great unity, wisdom and virtues, which inspired others to live a meaningful life, needs to revisit these lessons.
