“Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.” ~ Jessica Lange
From these three, tolerance is the one I’m working with today.
Tolerance is defined as the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.
“When Don Quixote went out into the world, that world turned into a mystery before his eyes. The novel teaches us to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.” ~Milan Kundera,

I find it hard to practice Tolerance and forgiveness. But on the other hand, I think there must be a lot tolerance for the people around me. B’cos, I can be very bad A*** 😮

If you want to be a Saint, tolerance should practised as much as possible. How much is as much as possible? When the chance comes up, act with tolerance.
For instance what thing or object do you hate to be in contact with? I don’t like flies but I sometimes practice tolerance and do not swat the flies…..
Or some people do not like insects in the home. Practicing tolerance means to let them live or take them alive and throw them out of the house….

I don’t want to be a saint. I just want my life to be easier. I can’t change others, but maybe i can change myself.

I have found the one who I have the most trouble accepting, and tolerating is me. I am the one who I have th hardest time forgiving also.

I agree. I am the only one I can change.

I wonder how many people who refer to Don Quijote have even read the books. Most people don’t get past the first chapter with the windmills.

Beats me. It was required reading for me in high school and then again in college.
