Love people for what they are,
And in relationships you will go far!
Accept them as they are,
And nothing can you equation with them mar!
Accept that each one of them is a free agent,
That each of them is unique in life’s spell-binding pageant!
Accept that of life variety is the spice,
That none is as if your pawn in a game of dice!
Why try to cast even your child in your mould,
Why anyone a prisoner to your beliefs hold?
Why should you anyone to become your shadow wish,
Why should you anyone for acting differently diss?
Why wish anyone to be your puppet on a string,
Why anyone’s thinking differently like a wasp you sting?
Let others climb their own mountains,
And see of love everywhere spring the fountains!
Allow them to reach for their own stars,
And put an end to all inner and outer squabbles and wars!
Learn to embrace people as they are,
And no note in the symphony of life will jar!
Let them grow their own way, let them be,
Allow yourself a life of freedom and let them also be free!
Shorn of all expectations, there will be freedom in the air,
And that will be so liberating and so very fair!

Shivam dear, You have no other option but at least to accept others as they are if you want your peace of mind.

So true, Professor Saheb. Instead of seeing all the people through our prism and getting agitated, it is important to understand and accept people as they are. This is the only way , we can have peace of mind and cordial relationships with others.
