Why do we Need Tolerance?
We need tolerance because it allows us to be respectful of others, even if we don’t agree with them. It helps us to see things from their perspective and to understand that everyone is different. Tolerance also allows us to be more open-minded and to accept people for who they are. For example, when someone has a mental illness, this can make it difficult for them to control their emotions. They may have times when they feel like yelling or crying uncontrollably. When you tolerate this behaviour you allow the person to behave in a way that feels natural to them instead of trying to force them into an idea of how they should act.
Tolerance and Compassion for the Weaker Section
In today’s society, it’s important to be tolerant and compassionate towards those that are perceived as weaker than us. Many people believe they have the right to exercise their strength over those that are too weak to fight back or defend themselves. We mustn’t allow ourselves to fall into this trap and instead show compassion towards the weaker members of our society, because, at one point in time, you may be seen as the weaker one.
