TOLERANCE: THE PRICE OF PEACE
We cannot have anything in this world without
paying for it. Everything has its price and this is
particularly true of peace. If we want peace, we
should be ready to pay for it or stand deprived of it.
What is the price of peace? It is simply tolerance.
We live in a world of
differences,
and
these
differences
cannot
be
eliminated. Therefore, we have
only two options before us:
adopting the policy of either
tolerance or intolerance. While
the latter leads to violence, the
former ensures peace. Where
there is tolerance there is
peace, and where there is intolerance, there is war
and violence. There is only one universal formula of
tolerance for peace, and this same formula may be
successfully applied to one’s family life and to
social life, as well as at the international level.
The root cause of
most of our
problems is
traceable to our
deviation from
the peaceful
model of nature.
