Live and Let live #1 (permalink) Fri Jan 26, 2007 8:29 am   Live and Let live
 

Hi,

Could you tell me if 'Live and let live' could be reworded as: 'Live in your own way and let others live in theirs'?

Thank you.

Hi Haihao

Yes, the phrase means that you should allow other people to live as they want to and accept others as they are.
