Tolerance is permitting another to have ideas differing from yours. It’s boundaries are limited only by illegal or immoral behavior. Lots of ideologies are floating around in our world today. Mankind has tossed any kind of value system out the window. There no longer is a right and wrong. That’s why things are so confusing. You can’t measure a board with out a standard of measurement- Myself and millions fought wars for your/others right to choose. I tolerate it as long as it is not immoral or unlawful. You are RIGHT. Not many have that virtue. Actually, most are intolerant with different ideas. What is scary is history shows what one generation tolerates, the next generation embraces. Thanks for your comment. I could say much more but not on this stage. Thank you!!

A young couple moved into a new house.

The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.

"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better soap powder.

Her husband looked on, remaining silent.

Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.

A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.

"Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are." 💯 Love this! 😊

Nice post BF, a great thought, in theory. We make judgements about people, situations, products, etc, every day. For anyone married or with a significant other, did you judge that person before you married them, moved in with them as to whether they were right/wrong for you.

I love it when people say they don't judge others. We judge people every day. We even judge people we've never met or will meet. Maybe a better approach is trying to understand that not everyone looks like us, acts like us, thinks like us. We may be different but maybe that's all it is -- we are different for a variety of reasons.

Just my 2 cents.
