CO-EXISTENCE IS THE WAY TO CHANGE THE WORLD

I don’t understand the logic and reason, why I would have problem if someone wishes to practice his/her religion and live their lives according to their beliefs.

I don’t find a single State in the World which prohibits minorities from practicing their religion and implementing their religious dogmas on themselves. Whether the practices , the tenets and the code of belief are right or wrong, as long as it doesn’t materially breaches any Law or any individual s’ rights, why someone would be intolerant and rude.

Today, we are experiencing a lot of facilities due to kindness of Modern Technology, but still we have the large number of people committing Suicides. We are lacking Tolerance, so is the reason we have hatred, Jealousy, Tensions, Depressions in our Societies.

 I do believe intolerance is related to materialism, materialist thought has just destroyed human values, people are relying more on material things than on God. However, we are the most progressive nations in the human history but yet we are the most disturbed at the same time. Why Should I spread hate if I can’t spread love, Why should I be rude to my class fellow or my colleague if I can’t improve my work.. Why I’m not understanding this principle that God has created everyone differently and gave everyone different qualities and abilities. Why I should be biased about someone s’ quality of faith, God knows the things which are even in someone s’ heart so why should I blame or criticize someone about ones’ quality of faith.

I don’t get this why one is ignorant even one is highly educated, how he says he is educated where at the same time he doesn’t let others to feel freedom. Can one still be calling oneself a good human being without Co-Existence??

Extremism causes non co-existence in the Society; in fact extremism makes our minds dull and takes away our inner peace of mind. I do believe Extremism is just the opposite of Wisdom. Many people think extremism is a virtue but actually it is a negative term. If you like something or someone and go in extremes it can be the cause of big conflict if a slightest error might occurred, and if you dislike something or someone and go in extremes, it can be the cause of  violence in society. Extremism indicates non co-operation which is just the opposite of co-existence, non co-operation creates a sense of separateness, small mindedness, a limitation of consciousness.

I firmly believe the company that drags someone to non co-operation, anger, delusion, jealousy, hatred and bad desires is a bad company and should be avoided. The company that pulls someone up towards co-existence, enthusiasm, service, trust, love, peace and Knowledge is a good company and should be involved.

International Islamic University is a good example of Co-Existence in Pakistan; I have learned a lot about existence being a student of this University. There are about students of 57 countries studying and progressing. It shows that whatsoever the cultures, traditions and creeds and colors could be, mankind can live in peace only by assuring Co-Existence.

We need such kind of more institutions to spread peace and love throughout the world.

I would like to conclude this, as its’ the Co-Existence which will guarantee peace and defeat narrow minded religious and cultural fanaticism.
