Interdependence—A Law of Nature

the only workable formula for achieving peace in this world.
Trying to bring about a change in the status quo leads to
conflict, while making plans for one’s activities by accepting
the existing state of affairs leads to peace.
If a person or group has any complaint or difference of
opinion, they should strictly adhere to peaceful negotiation.
Trying to bring about change through violence is not an option
for anyone. No excuse whatsoever is acceptable in this regard.
Disparity among men and women is not an evil: it is rather
a blessing. When people complement each other, it promotes
the culture of cooperation, which further leads to the creation
of an atmosphere of peace and friendship.

The culture of interdependence promotes all kinds of
human values and is, therefore, the best social scheme. Those
who have opted for violence are not only destroying social
peace, but are also pursuing a target which is unachievable.
Interdependence is a law of nature. Accepting the principle
of interdependence brings peace to society and opens up all
doors to development.
