Answer:
What is this question I can't understand
Explanation:
One of the things that makes the dictum “live and let live” so popular is its extraordinary brevity. In just four words (and as many syllables), it’s an almost irrefutable edict on how we might best conduct our lives. But because this idiom of humane mutuality is so concise, writers have typically felt required to interpret—or expand upon—its meaning. And inevitably, some have gone out on a limb, elaborating on this celebrated expression in ideological ways not really implied by its literal meaning.
To be sure, given the maxim’s elegant simplicity, such biased (partisan?) explications have been pretty much unavoidable. For the mandate doesn’t really say anything about how, specifically, one ought to live—how, ideally, one should think, feel, and act, as regards not only one’s personal preferences, but others’ as well.
The Varied Meanings Attributed to “Live and Let Live”
What different writers have had to say about this seminal directive definitely transcends its dictionary definition. The Cambridge English Dictionary, for example, simply states that it denotes that “people should accept the way other people live and behave, especially if they do things in a different way.” Augmenting this elemental definition, writers have employed or implied such words or phrases as virtuous; open-minded, permissive, cooperative and compromising; respectful, tolerant, and accepting; living in harmony with others; non-judgmental, non-critical, and non-condemning; non-competitive, non-aggressive, and non-controlling—and, especially, non-violent.
