I believe that we can learn by being challenged and pushed. Since this blog is about the pursuit of wisdom, I would like to challenge you to question your beliefs and explore your thoughts. In these “Discuss!” posts I will write a sentence for discussion. Feel free to defend, argue against, or simply wonder about the statement.
Live and let live.
“Live and let live” is the philosophy of a cynic. In fact, how much a person believes in it is a good measure of how cynical that person is.
We need to be pushed in order to become better. We also need to push for the same reason. Everyone needs some cynicism in their lives, but “Live and let live” is too much.
Interesting view! I never thought of it that way before, but I do see how it could be a cynical view. Thanks for opening my eyes to something new!

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live (you know you did you know you did)
but if this ever changing world in which we live in
makes you give in and cry
Say live and Let Die!

Great point, Nicole! Sometimes we need to hear the same message in a different way so it makes sense to us!
