Aryan and Karan were teenage brothers, but they were complete opposites.

Aryan was disciplined, focused on studies, and followed all the rules.

Karan, on the other hand, was carefree, loved sports, and hated restrictions.

"You always act like you’re better than me!" Karan complained.

Aryan shot back, "And you never take anything seriously! How can we even live together?"

Karan crossed his arms. "Maybe we shouldn’t live together then!"

Aryan, still angry, said, "You’re right! We are too different to stay under one roof!"

Their mother, Meera, overheard the argument and felt heartbroken.

She knew that differences shouldn’t break a family apart.

She decided to teach them an important lesson before it was too late.

Meera sat down and motioned for both sons to sit beside her.

"My dear sons, listen to me before you make any decisions," she said gently.

Aryan and Karan, though still upset, respected their mother and sat down.

"You may be different, but does that mean you should separate?" she asked.

Meera smiled and said, "Let me tell you something about India."

"Our nation is full of different people, yet they live together in harmony."

"If our country can stay united, why can’t you two?" she asked.

Aryan and Karan exchanged glances but stayed quiet.

"India is a land of great diversity," Meera said with pride.

"People from different backgrounds and beliefs live side by side."

"Despite these differences, we call ourselves Indians first," she explained.

The brothers started to understand their mother’s point.

"In India, people speak many languages—Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, and more."

"Yet, no one says, ‘My language is better than yours.’"

"If people in India respect different languages, can’t you two respect each other’s views?"

The brothers nodded slowly.

"Each state in India has its own traditions and festivals," Meera said.

"But do they stop being part of India just because they celebrate differently?"

"No, they come together and celebrate each other’s festivals as well."

"Just like that, you both can have your own interests but still stay together."

Karan asked, "But don’t different religions create problems?"

Meera smiled, "Religion is personal, but respect for others unites us."

"Our Constitution gives everyone the freedom to follow their faith."

"In our home too, you can have different views but still respect each other."

"In India, no single religion is considered superior," Meera explained.

"Our Constitution treats all religions equally."

"Similarly, as a mother, I don’t favor one of you over the other."

The brothers realized their mother was making a strong point.

"In life, we don’t just live for ourselves," Meera said.

"Cooperation means helping, sharing, and respecting each other."

"A family, like a society, cannot function if there is constant fighting."

Aryan and Karan listened carefully.

"If people in a country stop cooperating, what would happen?" Meera asked.

"There would be endless fights, and no one would live in peace."

"Even in a family, lack of cooperation leads to sadness and separation."

"Would you really be happier living apart?"

Karan sighed, "But Mom, sometimes we just don’t agree on things!"

Meera smiled, "That happens everywhere! Even in society, people have different opinions."

"But they find ways to work together instead of breaking apart."

"So, can’t you both learn to handle your disagreements peacefully?"

"Tolerance means respecting differences, even when we don’t fully agree," Meera said.

"If everyone forced their opinion on others, there would be constant fights."

"Instead, people learn to accept diversity," she said.

"If the whole nation can do that, why can’t you two?"

"Remember our neighbors?" Meera asked.

"They had a dispute over their garden space last week."

"But instead of ending their friendship, they found a solution."

"Now, they both use the space equally without any problems."
