Memphis,

My bad this is an older post. You know you rock!:womanlol:

throwing a bucket of tolerance over the forum.  like what you want, let others like what they want. thankfully, we are not all the same. 

i think simple tolerance is so easy.  not some big ole complicated debate.  people like different things.

Tolerance:  the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

‘Silence means consent.’  If you care about something or someone, it may not always be the best solution to be tolerant.  While you respect their decision to say and do whatever they like. If you genuinely care, you will at least try to show there is a better way to address a situation with kindness(we all fall short at times).  

As human beings we ALL fall short that is why prayer and asking for forgiveness was shown to us.

We have ALL done things that if we had known better, we would have done better. If something is not life threatening we need to let it go and get on with life.  Life is too short to hold on to yesterday and tomorrow is not promised. 

Last month I had to give a family the distressing news that their loved one would not be with them much longer.  

Be thankful if you have your health and sound mind.  

yes, its more.

but this part of it seems rampant.  for some reason there is a constant barrage of others wanting others to have the same likes and dislikes.  it seems so odd to me.  people are so different and situations are so different.  certainly we would not have the same likes and dislikes. 

Tolerance is beyond liking what you like and someone else liking what they like. 

But it looks to me like there is a huge lack of it right now…is it the stress of the holidays that is 

bringing it out? 

As long as you don’t tsk tsk me for not liking what you like, MemhisVette. That’s where my tolerance ends.
