Tolerance

 A   L   O   H   A  !
" Tolerance implies
 no lack of commitment
 to one's own beliefs. 
Rather it condemns
 the oppression
 or persecution 
of others. "

John F. Kennedy

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
" What is tolerance? 
It is the consequence of 
humanity. 
We are all formed 
of frailty and error;
 let us pardon 
reciprocally 
each others' folly - 
that is the first law
 of nature. "

Voltaire

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

" Tolerance is giving 
to every other
 human being 
every right 
that you claim 
for yourself. "

Robert Green Ingersoll



" I think more tolerance,
 more people having more access
 to a chance to be literate,
 and a chance to stay healthy
 makes for a more 
peaceful planet."

Henry Rollins
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 " The responsibility
 of tolerance
 lies with those 
who have the 
wider vision. "

George Eliot 
 
 
 ~  ><333>  ~
 
 
 
Tolerating the Other,
 the Different,
means you are still 
seeing
Other, Difference.

This is a but
a way-station
from intolerance.

When you forget
about Race, Class,
Difference,
They forget
about You.

Then, 
there is no
Other
in the 
WE
that arises.

  4. " Tolerance is giving
    to every other
    human being
    every right
    that you claim
    for yourself. "

    Robert Green Ingersoll


    That is the best quote for me and sums up my belief. On a darker side its scary how many people, including those who think themselves rational and civilized people, can rationalize mistreatment and dehumanization of others different from them.

  14. It's a "big picture" thought to realize that maybe, just maybe, my way, our way, is not necessarily the best way, i.e. other religions, acupuncture, non-western medicine. Hmmmm, open the mind, learn about "those different people," appreciate, tolerate, accept.
    Love the beautiful yellow trumpety flower! DrumMajor
