Live and let live is one of those ideas that infiltrated our ranks from secular society. Some things that we see in secular society are blatantly obviously not good and not for us. There are a lot of other ideas that seem smart and easy to adopt, even if they don’t really align with our hashkafos.
The Hellenists had ideas that some of us fell for too. Not every Yid joined Mattisyahu in the war against the Greeks. And Mattisyahu doesn’t seem to have taken live and let live as his motto. Wasn’t it something else?
Maybe you want to think about changing your motto, PJ.
Anybody want to come up with a good motto for PJ, in honor of our victory against Yavan?
