Tolerance

Believe in yourself first, and thereby cultivate the strength to believe in others.

No matter how intolerant you are, you will never change the way a person is by hating them

Tolerance is the appreciation of diversity and the ability to live and let others live. It is the ability to exercise a fair and objective attitude towards those whose opinions, practices, religion, nationality and so on differ from one's own. As William Ury notes, "tolerance is not just agreeing with one another or remaining indifferent in the face of injustice, but rather showing respect for the essential humanity in every person."

Tolerance is defined as a friendly and fair attitude toward unfamiliar opinions and practices or toward the persons who hold or practice them...Dallin H. Oaks.

Matthew 7:12 So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.

 

"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have," he added, "But do this with gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15).  ( I may never agree with your idea or opinion, but I respect your beliefs)

 

Tolerance says, "You must approve of what I do."
Love responds, "I must do something harder; I will love you, even when your behavior offends me."

 

I guess it really is easy to find hate with something that one doesn’t understand. It’s easier to continue to be ignorant than it is to educate oneself......So let’s stop hating or prejudging what we don’t understand. If you disagree with something or someone at least take a little time to educate yourself and have a valid difference of opinion. And if you chose not to educate yourself a little maybe you should listen to the advice mothers have passed down for generations. “If you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.”   Penni4urthoughts's blog
