Defining harmony, Bishop Anthony Lobo said that people of all sects and schools of
thought should be respected. He said in Pakistani society there were people belonging to different sects and schools of thought but they were living in peace and harmony.
On how to inculcating harmony and tolerance among youth, he said a renowned French Philosopher had said “Since all started in the hearts and minds of people. The defences of peace must be constructed in the minds and hearts of the people”. He said every thing from war to peace originated from hearts and minds.
Education was also a must for to enlighten hearts and minds of the youths.
Unconsciously, he said children learn from their elders. The kids would be responsive if we are responsive. They will love peace if we love peace. Whatever the environment we give them, it will affect/influence them, positively or negatively.
He said we should help the youth build their character. Youth should not be neglected at any cost. We can inculcate youth about harmony and tolerance through various means like education, group discussion, etc. If we get united, we can contribute to the national development in several ways.
