Default Live and let live
Hi teachers,

My motto is "Live and let live". What's that mean?

Live and let others live...let them live the way they feel fit, be tolerant of others, don't judge others - live your own life and let others live theirs.

Hi Marylin,

Should it be "Live and let live" or "Live and let others live" ?

or do people just omit "others" sometimes?

The phrase is live and let live but I used "others" to rephrase the cliche so you can understand it better.
