Essay: Tolerance

"Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for
yourself". (R.G. Ingersoll)

Tolerance, as an act, is the ability of a person to treat others equally and with due
respect despite of any factors such as race or social position. Tolerance is the most
necessary quality of a man. Tolerance is one of the conditions of good manners.
Intolerance leads to the worst disaster. So, we put so much importance on tolerance.

“The highest result of education is tolerance.”(Hellen Keller)

Tolerance means that you start with assumption that the people being addressed will
believe you to be a basically decent and normal person. Similarly, tolerance also means
that you start with the assumption that the people you are addressing are basically
decent and normal people.

“Tolerance is the only test of civilization.”(Arthur Helps)

Tolerance does not mean we must agree with everything others say or do. It is about
respecting their right to have their own opinions and beliefs. It is about acknowledging
that others have different experiences that have shaped their views and values.
Tolerance requires patience, understanding, and willingness to listen to others.

“Tolerance is nothing more than patience with boundaries.”(Shannon L.Alder)

Tolerance is not an easy virtue to practice. It requires self-awareness and a willingness


to learn from others. It is not just about accepting differences but also about actively
seeking to understand them. It requires us to be curious about other cultures, religions,
and beliefs and to be open to learning from them.

“Tolerance is a sign of growth on the spiritual path.”(Sivananda)

Tolerance is a two-way street. It is not just about accepting others but also about being
accepted. We all have a right to our beliefs and values, and we should not be judged or
discriminated against. Tolerance allows us to express our opinions and beliefs without
fear of persecution freely.

“Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue;it makes it a requirement for
survival.”(Rene Dubos)

Tolerance is essential in all areas of life, including education, politics, and religion. It
allows us to have meaningful conversations and debates without resorting to violence
or hatred. Tolerance encourages us to find common ground and work towards a
common goal.
“You must tolerate that which you cannot change.”

Intolerance leads to the worst kinds of disaster. In the mythology and history we can
find many horrible acts of intolerance. Aurangzeb killed Hindus under the feet of
elephants, because he could not tolerate Hinduism. Sometimes we quarrel with others
owing to such intolerance. Hitler killed a large number of Jews because he could not
tolerate them.Many of our enemies are the outcome of our intolerance. We cannot
make justice, because we are intolerant to hear the views, which are different for ours.
So, intolerance is a very bad quality.

"Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength".
(Dalai Lama)

Tolerance is really a very useful quality. It is one of the basic principles of good manners.
We can do justice if we are tolerant to hear the different views of others. If we are
tolerant we can make the due assessment of the views of others. Tolerance as a quality
is indispensable in the democratic countries. Tolerance is the first condition for the
exercise of all views. We must be tolerant of the views, however, bitter that may be. So,
every student, every citizen and every individual should preach the habit of tolerance.

“Tolerance can lead to learning something.”(Jacob Dylan)

There is no doubt in it that tolerance is the most necessary quality of our every day life. If
we preach tolerance, we will be free from all the pains of envy within ourselves. Then our
soul will live in peace and happiness. Children from their early childhood should
develop the habit of tolerance. The elders should guide them in this respect.

"Tolerance is the oil, which takes the friction out of life". (Anonymous)
