Tolerance

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 necessarily agree with. 

To me tolerance means being able to have patience towards others and their opinions on things that I might disagree with. It means to respect others who may or may not agree with something you have to say about a certain topic or idea. I think the way I can be able to live a more tolerance life is by respecting different types of peoples ideas like people that are L.G.B.T. But then again everyone has a different meaning for tolerance. Sometimes people say things that they may not mean in a bad way but it still hurts you. The thing is you may not be able to say anything about it to them because they didn't know. Thats what tolerance means to me, it means having to hold some words inside because of something thats bothering you. The best way to be tolerant is to be able to understand people and their stories about how they feel about certain things.
