Living in harmony

Harmony does not mean everyone is in agreement. Harmony exists when no one is attempting to force his or her opinions on others.

Harmony does not require everyone to be the same. Harmony thrives where people respect and tolerate the differences that give so much richness to life.

Harmony cannot be achieved by brute force. Harmony prevails when every individual understands, on his or her own terms, that it is the most effective way to live.

Harmony does not come about through intimidation or scolding or threats of punishment. Harmony is reached through understanding and cooperation.

Harmony cannot exist where people are interested only in what they can take. Harmony is built through a willingness to give.

Harmony comes not by being weak or by surrendering one’s most treasured principles, or by the cowardly attempt to control others. Harmony is the domain of those who are confident enough in their own lives to allow others to peacefully flourish.

— Ralph Marston
