Handling Gross Ideological Differences

Ideologies, make or break a person. Unity in diversity is the enshrined principle of our constitution. But that diversity is not about language, food, clothing, etc. It is about gross differences in the attitudes towards common situations. Intolerance towards poles apart ideologies reflects your incomplete faith in your ideology. I always believe that your ideological opponent gets weakened by your indifferent attitude towards his ideology. Having ideological differences is a proof that god has created minds which function in different ways. We need to respect that differences.
Simple day-to-day instances reflect your ideology quotient. For example, if you believe that reading book is better than watching a movie then to criticise someone for the latter option reflects your ideological inconsistency. Its about striking that perfect balance between defending your thoughts & not disrespecting the other. Its about criticising the view but respecting the person. To take ideological differences at personal level reveals your incomplete faith in your own ideology. I always try to defend my ideology but there is a very thin line differentiating defence & offence. An offensive ideological opponent never deserves any reply. Ideological difference is something to be cherished about & not to be intolerant about.
OPPOSE IDEOLOGICALLY RESPECT PERSONALLY!
