Peace, positivity needed in the world more than ever before: Ex-CJI Misra

Former Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra Saturday said peace, positivity and humility were needed in the world today more than ever before.

Misra was the chief guest at the 27th convocation of the Nirma University here.

"I urge you to engage and to continue the intention to learn, for we need peace, positivity and humility in the world today more than ever before. A discordant view of another does not make someone an alien," the former CJI said while addressing students.

He said that a "fair amount of discussion leads you to the establishment of a society of flexibility that proceeds on the path of progression where each one is part of the cohesive whole in spite of differences. This is the sign of maturity."
The former CJI also urged students to cultivate "universal rationalism and competitive optimism", and the "art of sublimation of emotions"
Misra told students to always remember that courage is the mother of all virtues; "and courage, to be a virtue, should be taken recourse to on the right occasion."
He also asked them to connect with the people and maintain respect for the country's ancient culture and social tradition
