Tolerance for me would be to hold my anger and not offend my family because they're really religious. I can be more tolerant by watching what I say in front of specific people who would find what I say really offensive. I can live a more tolerant life by learning about other cultures so then when I'm around someone with that culture I won't accidentally offend them. I feel like I'm more tolerant than my sister because I respect her religion, music, and when she prays before we eat. She unfortunately isn't really tolerant with the type of music I listen to, she would complain to my parents and yell at them for letting me listen to Pierce The Veil only because it isn't Christian or Catholic music. Since she isn't really tolerant about my music it gets me really furious and thats how we end up fighting and not talking for a long time. I feel like tolerance will make us a better person especially in the future when we work around people with different cultures. That way we won't offend someone that we didn't even mean to and they might respect us more.
I like your thoughts, Marilyn. It can be hard to be tolerant toward people who are not tolerant of you.
