CULTURE OF LIVING TOGETHER
“Peace
is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity, in the
comparison and conciliation of differences.” --Mikhail Gorbachev
As we live in a global
village of 21st century and we belong to only one single family.
It’s our responsibility to bring fraternity, friendship and love from all
different places around the world, and to live together in peace.
In movement of riots, murders, massacre of
innocent civilians, destruction or corruption of properties and discrimination
between people have become common across the length and breadth of the world.
For instance, in France some people of various religions happened in clash in
the name of religion, it was as result of tarnishing their religions and death
toll happened in both sides. As if, it has become a norm for a man to
overestimate his own religion, nation and race from others, so that others
becomes inferior.
In
stark contrast, God does not discriminate between human beings and nations, in
spite of having omnipotent, because we belong to only Him. And He teaches us
not differentiate each other; “hence we may have different religions, different
languages different colored skin and race but we all belong to one human”.
Unfortunately, a country meets with destruction, and then its neighboring
country never escapes sharing from side effect on the behalf of our living in a
global village.
The roots
of enmity and hatred lie in human arrogance and self-worship, people result in
unjust, hostility towards others without even being aware of it. Enmity can
take on subtle forms even among religion, believers, and show itself as feigned
approval, not interfering with wrongdoing, and insincere friendliness. People
usually consider that evils others do are proper grounds for hostility.
On the contrary,
Said Nursi teaches that, unless others are aggressive, one should “not let” the
evils of our enemies attract your enmity. also said that he prescribes love
“the thing most deserving of love is love and most deserving of enmity is
enmity (DS, P.49) it is love and loving others that making a person’s social
life secure and lead to happiness or peaceful and harmony societies.
Muhammad Iqbal says in
his poetry that “no religion teaches to harbor the enmity towards each other”.
And prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says “do not insult and mock other God religion, so
that they insult and mock your Allah and religion” hence; love, brotherhood and
affection are as to all religions, its bond.
The main characteristics are that to build up all harmonious and
peaceful societies in the world, by way of
we should learn how to create the habit to tolerate others, if they go
against us, how to talk who speaks to us in worse manner, how to behave whose
response is against us. Every organization or party etc… has to do same as
well. “We have the ability to achieve,
if we master the necessary goodwill, a common global society blessed with a
shared culture of peace that is nourished by the ethnic, national and local
diversities that enrich our lives”.
Firstly, we have
to think before leaping” and rethink its reaction because every action has its
own equal and opposite reaction. It is
onus of people to create mutual understanding and mutual feeling, so those
disputes disappear. We must learn to say ‘we’ just as I can say ‘I’ and still
being myself; we should say ‘we’ whilst acknowledging our common sense of
belonging (biased feeling). It’s better for everyone to focus and work, on the
common morals and teachings of different religions and cultures of the world,
and not to sow the seed of hatred among the different society. No religion may be insulted of their faults,
and nature is always at peace with itself. People of various areas behave
like brothers to one another, when they encounter, with innocent heart,
sympathy and good intentions. People of different religions such as Islam,
Hinduism, Christianity or Buddhism, think well of others and display behavior;
sincerity and kindness are our second nature in life and they.
If people
understand friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies then they refrain
themselves from abusing and insulting other people’s holy saints, cultures and
races. The meaning of living together is that “respect for the rights of others
means peace”. All obstacles automatically got
dismantled in the form of poverty, richness and lower caste or upper caste
without any trace among the people. Way of life begins being easier than
before.
Active men’s thoughts
build up territory schools, for below five years old children to learn basic
materials, before admission in schools, or schools for children, whose age is
more than five years for higher study and set up a library for young fellow to
study in, in that library, all kind of books with diverse languages, should be
available such as Mustafa, Velar-e- Hind and Frontline or books related to all
religions etc… so that people are getting advantages from it. Through these
books, they get known what is happening across the length and breadth of the
world. All governments should pass a law strictly in the favor of women to be
protected and all of them are not be underestimated and given their rights as
men given, in the result of these, our culture can be harmonious multicultural
societies depending on “respect for the rights of others means peace.”
The socio-media in the form of Face book,
Whats App, news papers, TVs, books, and magazines and so on also plays more
leading role to make a society peaceful and harmonious than a man, a party, and
an organization. And people have no objection to adopt the culture. Since its
trick is to display it as modern culture, it is a basically “environment” and
people move within the limits of the environment to nurture their inspiration
and to adopt that environment in turn, to make it influence through exchange. It
is also an “atmosphere” of colors, melodies, customs, traditions, forms,
rhythms, and movements, all of which leave in the lives of individuals certain
inclination and especially styles which strengthen their imagination, enliven
their genius and to nourish their creative power. The culture is an integrated
and complex whole consisting of an inter-subjective wealth of symbols, values,
concepts, attitudes, and tastes and constituting the essential bond between the
individual and society as well.
India houses more
religions and various cultures than other countries and its believers live and
work together in tranquility and complicated situation as from one
religion. India represents the most influential
examples like father of nation, Mahatma Gandhi, Muslim league leader Muhammad
Ali Jenna and tiger of Mysore, Tipu Sultan, Jawaharlal Nehru Doctor Rajindra Parsad,
B.R. Ambetkar fought with their villains, British, routed out and removed them
from our nation together I mean India. And they teach us that “we have to face the fact that either all of us are going to
die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live
together we have to talk”.
Everyone in the
world, make new cultures, for instance, learning minimum two languages except
their mother tongue like me I know six languages, to make a habit of aid
others, to remove the society from wastes and to establish a club or pub for
loafer , therefore bad thing never come out. If our friends did any performance
badly, we shouldn’t give negative stroke, instead. Young people shouldn’t use
sexual act with any girls. Government should enact a new law and strictly keep
eyes on every teacher should treat each student as their children and teach
them lovely.
It’s better for one is in
abject poverty to be supported by complaining to Government to help them. If
they are granted assistance, they will begin to emerge out of poverty and then
our culture will become better, because “If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of
human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live
together, in the same world at peace”. Harmonious multicultural societies will
be around us.
We need to
understand all other cultures, much if better we want to eradicate this kind of
catastrophe. We need to retrace imprint of our forefathers, what they did in
all types of conflicts without any trace of disturbance innocent civilians, we
need to understand that Muslim culture, they feel at home in their culture and people belong to other religion
feel at home their culture as well. We need to understand not harbor enmity to
and combat each other in the name of religion. Conflicts lead us to the divided
multi-culture and harmonious societies, and love or loving others leads us to
make them proper. We need to understand the diversity in cultures, races and
religions of the world are so rich and beautiful, if they disperse and then
beauteous cultures vanish. Martin Luther King, Jr. says that “we must learn to live together as brothers or
perish together as fools”.
