It seems in today’s recent tribal culture, tolerance has become disjointed with tolerance.
In a country as diverse as, These United States of America many wrap themselves in tolerance but don’t comprehend the essence of the word.
Tolerance is the ability to accept and endure something that is different or disagreeable without reacting negatively. It is a valuable trait that helps individuals navigate diverse situations and communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds and perspectives.
Tolerance should not be mistaken for passivity or acceptance of harmful or abusive behavior. While it is important to be open-minded and accepting of others, individuals should also be able to recognize and assert their boundaries when necessary.
When we push our beliefs on others, we are not demonstrating tolerance, but rather attempting to impose our own beliefs onto them. This can lead to feelings of resentment, conflict, and division, and can create barriers to effective communication and understanding.
In order to practice tolerance, it is important to approach others with an open mind and a willingness to listen to their perspectives. This means being respectful and considerate of their beliefs and opinions, even if we don’t share them.
Instead of pushing our own beliefs onto others, we can engage in constructive dialogue and seek to understand their point of view. By doing so, we can foster a sense of mutual respect and appreciation for diversity, which is at the heart of tolerance.
