Can someone tell me what tolerance is? How can someone display
tolerance?

Its difficult for someone to display tolerance when they feel attacked.

That was not directed at anyone in particular, just an observation that
applies to most people, most of the time.

Not sure how tolerance could be displayed. If you were actually tolerant
of something, you wouldnt be displaying anything

Tolerance is often the ability to simply ignore those who try to get
"under your skin" by making rude comments, assuming they know everything
or just being plain hateful. Tolerance also comes from accepting others
for what they are & not making a mute attempt to make change them into
what you would like, or think they should be. Learning to be tolerant &
accepting of others is a valuable life lesson.



Peace, love & wisdom

freedom from prejudice...openmindedness

Look at that new spider outfit Show off that new "look and style"


Very nice pic Spider

it's like when the kids are screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemingggggggggggggggg

and you wanna yell but you stop and see how much fun they have..you
watch them tag each other sometimes too hard but ya say nothing
..allowing ,tolerating , the noise and the worry because their actions
and fun are more important than anything you could say

to me it is a spirit of allowing for differences. It does not mean
acceptance of differing opinions but constitutes a fair, permissive
attitude toward beliefs that may differ markedly from my own...

...the opposite of bigotry.

Nice question

tolerance comes from weighing priorities and letting go

it's a lot harder to hold on than to let go

So very true!

Me not kicking the **** out of everyone that piss me off????

Being neigbors in peace and harmony though our faiths are different.

Allowing that difference while still holding true to your faith.

Bl8ant,

I can't help wondering, if this:

>>It's like when the kids are screeeeeeemingggggggggg
>> and you wanna yell but you stop and see how much fun they have.

was intended as a comparison for what we see here in the forums
sometimes.

Mass you could be right. Being a kid is soooooo much fun.

Not the fighting part but just the fun part.

IMHO tolerance is the ability to see the other person's point of view
and respect it, even if you don't agree with it.

massagetrade...you got it!!



and when i understand that i have arrived at a place in myself that can
see and watch and discern.... and that ....i don't have to control
every experience for everyone so that they will have the life i want
them to have reguardless of the life they have chosen for themselves!!!!


arn't ya all so happy bout that???

Ghost.
I believe I agree with you.Also i saw u were once a Mormon. I just
wanted to say when I was in the Air Force the only peirs i found I could
believe as a new recruit was the ones who said they were Mormons. I
learned I could trust what they said. So something is done right inside
the religion to me. I will tell you untill you are assigned a perment
station (I was in the USAF ) I never meant so many/ liars/experts/karate
experts (haha) in my life. Keep going Ghost you will find what YHWH
wills for you. Shalom and May YHWH of Hosts Fill Your House with His
True Shalom...... Miles

Tolerance is the ability to live and let live, without trying to change
the way of others. To just accept them as they are, not telling them
that they are wrong only because their ways are not ours.
