Tolerance is defined by the dictionary as the "the capacity to tolerate". This can be physical, emotional, psychological, and in most cases, the lack of intolerance of others. The concept of tolerance was proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus. He argued that without tolerance, civilizations would not be able to flourish in a world where people are different. In essence, tolerant people embrace diversity and thereby enrich their life. Tolerance is a positive virtue and as such is rarely spoken of as a weakness.

At the same time, it may be argued that tolerance is a negative virtue because it is passive and negative. In order for tolerance to work positively, there has to be someone or something for the tolerant to tolerate. In everyday life, we should all be tolerant of those who are different from us in some way.

Tolerance is not the same as love. Love is a positive virtue in that it actively embraces diversity. Love is an active and positive virtue because it takes action and seeks to promote diversity. Unless you actively love others, tolerance may be your greatest failing.

Tolerance and love is similar, but not the same thing. Tolerance is an intellectual choice to accept something you do not necessarily understand or agree with. Love is a deep emotional attachment that connects us to one another. There was a time, not so long ago, when our society was more tolerant, but less loving. In recent years we have become more loving, but less tolerant.

Most love stories are lovely, although the feelings come in many variants. The worst thing is when you love and never get your place, this is the reason why we must talk about tolerance.

The story of our site is a very nice one. I have been living with my husband for more than a decade now, and all this time he keeps surprising me with small acts of love. We have many friends and we try to attend their celebrations every time we happen to be free. They are usually very happy to see us but sometimes things go wrong.

The thing is that one of our friends, for some reason, isn’t too happy about our relationship. She thinks it is not appropriate for us to meet her because my husband is white and I am black, or because my husband is older than me or because he has a very weird hobby. At first, she was just giving us a small judgmental look whenever we met her but lately she started talking bad about me to other people and even made up lies in order to offend me.

If you want to love without being intolerant, you will be in a paradise of love.

How many times have you thought of giving up tolerance as it is looked down upon by the world? How many times have you thought of giving up tolerance as it is making you look like an idiotic follower of others? How many times have you thought of giving up tolerance as it is making you look like a hypocrite in the eyes of friends and relatives? Tolerance comes with certain aspects that need to be examined before we can practice it.

In conclusion, tolerance is a form of acceptance. It means that we are willing to extend kindness, understanding, patience and respect to those people whose opinions and beliefs differ from our own.

Tolerance is good but has disadvantages too that put off someone easily. It's good it comes with boundaries otherwise people will see it as advantage and strike at your weak point
