I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I' m left  . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other ？
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, children from different races and religions played and studied   in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just  our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well   or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd     the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to   the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I     touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I    my destination. The driver acknowledged my    but did not move off. Instead, he looked   at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so  addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two   we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something     to describe.
If we can allow our children to be without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be   their side through' thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and  we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, 44we happy few, we band of brothers".
