Much is said today about TOLERANCE- We are told we should tolerate all kinds of behaviors we see and hear about. What does this really mean and it it as it should be.
Tolerance-The act or capacity of enduring; endurance. This really seems to have a negative connotation, We dislike something but must endure it, traffic, weather, insects and other things. When we apply it to people perhaps what we should be looking to do is find RESPECT for others and a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.
