I will say this: The atmosphere here would be much better if people practiced the "law of allowance". It's OK to be strongly convinced about anything, but the problem starts when you want/need to convince others of the same (look at religion...).

Then the Sun has its turn and it simply shines its warm rays of light on the man. Soon the man takes of his coat by his own accord...
