共存共生 live and let live

共 (common) 存 (exist) 共 (common) 生 (live)

Let's review what John Locke told us, "No one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions."

Echoed many times, it's a wonder people don't get the fundamental concept, as in:
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (U.S. Declaration of Independence)
Liberté, égalité, fraternité (French national motto)

As long as they are not infringing on your own pursuit of happiness, everyone should be free to pursue their own happiness. Duh is right.
