My Essay
My aim is to show how to achieve a harmonious world because harmony is a relationship of peace, and understanding between two or more people. I want to emphasize the values that for me are essential to reach it, so that this can help you to change your attitude and thus, gradually, accomplish it.
I believe that to achieve a harmonious country and world, we have to start by changing our own attitude, for me one of the most important values to have a harmonious life is tolerance, which is the respect for the ideas, beliefs or practices of others when they are different or contrary to our own, as people we lack a lot of tolerance, many fights occur due to the lack of it that we have because many people cannot stand to hear an opinion different from their own, and something crucial that we have to understand as a society is that we all have different ideas and there is no way that we think alike because everyone has their own beliefs, thoughts, and opinions about something and those should be respected.
Respect is another fundamental value that we must apply in our daily lives in order to have a harmonious world. If you want to be respected, it is necessary to know or learn to respect, to understand others, to value their interests and needs. Respect does not mean to agree in all areas with another person, but it is not to discriminate or offend that person for his or her way of life and decisions, as long as those decisions do not cause any harm, not affect or disrespect others.
Respect is also a form of tolerance with those who do not think the same as you, with those who do not share your tastes or interests, with those who are different or have decided to differentiate themselves from the crowd. Respect for the diversity of ideas, opinions and ways of being is a value that would greatly help to have a harmonious society.
In conclusion, for me respect and tolerance are fundamental values in our lives, especially to live harmoniously when everyday we have to stand to be more tolerant and respectful to others, in this way we'll live and let others live in harmony and peace.
