Tolerance Is the Best Medicine
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us forgive reciprocally each other’s folly. That is the first law of nature.
When you cut your finger, the life can tolerate you, it can start the patch work immediately, and lets the new cell rejoin one by one in the wounded place; if you have eaten rotten food by mistake, the life can tolerate you, lets you put out food to protect you; if your hand burnt, it can reduce the edema, and increase blood current capacity in other to let along new foods come into the skin, organization and new cell.
The tolerance is the key to obtain safety and health. If you want the health and happiness, you must tolerate everybody who hurts you. If you can’t first tolerate the others, you can’t truly tolerate yourself. Refusing to tolerate the others means arrogance and ignorance.
No matter what we do, we are always involved with other people, whether we ant to be or not. What we do even alone is affected by other people. From the day we are born, other people touch our lives in almost everything we do.
It’s not just other people who affect us. We affect them as well. Think of that shoes in sports. You may by shoes because you have sports so often. You may buy a back pack to carry clothes and other year. By buying these things, you and other sportsmen help to boost business. You help make jobs for shoes makers, salespeople, and many others. And, if you speak loudly, you may spoil someone else’s peace and quiet. If you leave litter, you will spoil the natural beauty of the area.
It is true that we all depend on other people and that we all want to be happy and get on with one another in harmony. Never the less, things are not always what we wish them to be. We might have some friction with a member of the family or a quarrel with someone in the neighbourhood. We might get cross with classmates or teachers. We might break relations with our close or distant relatives or break ties with our close friends.
If one of these does happen, please remember to keep calm and not to fly into a range at little things. You should not hurt other people’s feeling in an attempt to abate your own anger, otherwise, you will aggravate the friction and do harm to your future relationship with the person you are in trouble with, thus, putting yourself in a spot. If you happen to have friction with someone around you, try to have a heart-to-heart talk with him in a peaceful mood. This does not infer that you are going to eat dirt, unless your “opponent” is really hostile.
In face of unhappy meets, you don’t have to be misanthropic or to drive yourself to despair. You should be, on the contrary, kind and confident, for there’s always a profusion of chances for you to be better understood and to improve your relationship with other people. If, on the other hand, you become revengeful and adopt a tit-for-tat policy, or use ungenerous remarks to plan a counterattack, you will find yourself in more trouble, because evils come back.
Of course, nobody fancies eating dirt. But revenge does not contribute to a balanced mind. What you say or do should always be rational, otherwise, you could bite your tongue off later on. If goes without saying that you will have no worries if you are easy-going and become contumacious, you are bound to suffer heavy losses or at least make yourself unpopular, which will again bring you a lot of stress.
Successful people seldom contradict others unless in a life-or-death struggle. They know how to swim with the tide and tailor their words to the tastes of other fellows. They will say things in season and do things in moderation. They are extraordinary at adapting themselves to the surroundings and good at pleasing the ears of other people. However, some people are short-sighted and are too unwilling to please others. In the end, they will only succeed in separating themselves and making themselves unpopular. This is certainly not what they wish. So, if you want to live a happy life, try to be nice, try to be humane, try to be tolerant and easy-going. You can’t find love and understanding before you love and understand others.
