The principle of peaceful coexistence

Abstract

It is a natural goal for every one of us to become better every day. The very process of growth and evolution that we all go through rests on this fundamental principle. If you watch a new born baby you will find strong evidence to this. Till the age of four or five, a child is in a steep learning curve as well as a faster physical growth. Constantly the child makes efforts to become better. After three months of its birth, the child begins this journey by watching the world around. It slowly begins to shake its limbs and stretch its muscles. By the time it is 9 months old, it develops a skill to move around. After a few months it learns to get up, perhaps stand up and then make a step or two. Also it begins to talk. As we all know, this journey goes on in life. The child becomes better day by day both from a physiological and psychological perspective. This fundamental urge (or instinct) to become better stays with us forever. It merely takes a different perspective and context. For instance, when we are grown up, our notions about what it means to become better changes. Earning more, acquiring non?movable assets, getting recognized in the society and amongst the peers and good career growth and salary increases are some of the often counted items in our list of defining what better means. Our urge to become better day by day cannot be taken away nor stalled by someone. However, as we grow older it is important to know the rules of the game in our journey of becoming better.................
