Tolerance
'Tolerance' means
willingness to accept other people's behaviour or beliefs which are different
from our own, although we might not agree with or approve of them. It is to
allow others to do or say what they want to without criticizing them. It is a
quality which enables one to tolerate the presence or activities of others. It
is a virtue which can do away with all kinds of discords and disputes. There
may be differences of opinions between individuals or groups of people. But
there is no reason why a difference or dispute should be settled by a show of
strength or arms. Where intolerance can further aggravate a conflicting
situation, tolerance can help everyone to settle all matters of dispute
amicably. We see intolerance in every walk of our life. Fanaticism in religion,
race, politics, culture or in any ideology breeds intolerance and leads to
fights and riots. The only remedy for all these troubles is the practice of
tolerance. Intolerance has done a lot of harm to mankind. In order to get rid
of all kinds of discord or disharmony, we should always practice tolerance.
Tolerance can play a supreme role in establishing peace and harmony in our
social and national life.
