The old adage “Live and let live,” has broad application. It points to a truth that all of us understand deep down, but very few of us incorporate into the way we deal with others. This wisdom is so uncontroversial that there are many other axioms that convey the same idea: Different strokes for different folks, to each his own, etc.. What these expressions point to is the divergence of perspectives that each of us has and that, no matter how unfathomable another person’s choices may be…
They’re still valid.
