Tolerance: the ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.
I can be more tolerant with others by letting them express there feelings without me interrupting them and judging. To me, tolerance kind of means to be respectful of someones opinion and presence. We can live a more tolerant life if everyone won't be rude and let someone just express a few respectful things. Some moments I have with intolerance is when I'm trying to say what I think or feel about things and my brothers interrupt with, "did I ask for your opinion?" or "no one cares about what you think". With them saying that it just makes me give up on continuing my ideas about a particular topic. I will change the way I act so I can make people feel important, if we actually listen to their ideas maybe it'll be a good one. It will get people to feel included and boost up their self esteem.
Such thoughtful, kind ideas! I think we would all be better off if we acted this way!
