Tolerance can be defined as the acceptance of diversity of opinion, social, ethnic, cultural,
political and religious. It is the ability to listen and accept others, valuing the different ways
of understanding and positions in life, provided they do not violate the fundamental human rights
and do not conflict with our instrumental rights as well .

 We have working systems, efficient systems and nonworkable solutions to current
problems recognized in every society. There is always a limit to accepting attempts to modify
working systems, cumulated inefficiency due to ignorance or human errors and repeated attempts to
use obsolete solutions. Anything beyond a legally and or emotionally recognizable limit must be
considered "intolerable". Everything below are "tolerable"!

Muraleedhar:
Things have been defined. What fails is humans that take the time to think through or are willing to
think through the human experience which has been defined over and over again and again. People just
seem to forget how much has been defined from past human experiences.
The use of words like "Tolerance" create a greater problem for people rather than using words like
>Accept<.
If I accept you the way you are MY view of you changes AND! your view of me starts in the correct
way...

If I "Tolerate" you then the toleration will wear off. If I say to you I must tolerate you then you
would back away from me as you would then stop accepting me because I would just be Putting Up! with
you. You would immediately start looking for faults in me as I would have been first to say that I
was seeing your faults because I was being "Tolerant".
"Tolerant" is a cleverly disguised destructive word made for a cleverly destructive world.
You are from India. Should I accept that you are equal as a person just as I who am in the U.S.? Are
we really the same as ALL humans? or should I "Tolerate" you and would you ever >Accept< me in
truth and reality as a friend and brother like as Another of the same whole humanity if I ever said
that I would "Tolerate" you.

I "Tolerate" NO ONE. Everyone is the SAME and EQUAL from the same beginning. I accept you as I
accept everyone else young and old as being the most they are able to be.
Now there are people who are "Haters" and I never "Tolerate" them either. I offer no resistance to a
hater and I move away as they are blind and destructive with little chance of seeing others as
another. If I tolerate them or try to change them they will just see me then as a hater as they feel
offended for any reason so those are the impossible people. I pity those who will never accept
others.

Tolerance is a fair attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality,
etc., differ from someone else. You need to learn to tolerate, or respect someones ideas. For
Example: I Britain didnt fight with America to stop them from becoming a religion tolerant country,
they wouldnt have so many rivals.

I think that tolerance is putting up with difference, whereas acceptance is appreciating it.

To me tolerance is an unconditional acceptance that people are different. We should always try as
much as possible not to be judgemental and alwayz make it point of duty to concentrate on what we
like about people and not what we do not like about them. Finally, accept the fact that no one is
difficult instead admitt that you have not done your best to understand them.

To me tolerance is the ability to love oneself and the people around you despite any differences.

I like the definition,"The capacity to endure."
We all have different thresholds of endurance. Sometimes we get angry and reach the point of
intolerance. Then we ask ourselves, "Do I take action to change this injustice? or do I become a
part of the cowardly silent majoity?
Sometimes changing an intolerable situation can come at great cost.
To quote Sydney, "Avoid shame but do not seek glory --nothing so expensive as glory."
