TOLERANCE
Tolerance is not love, nor like, it is just to put up with people. People who annoyed you in whatever ways. avoiding conflicts or arguments, that is tolerance. recently, i have just read an essay on tolerance by E.M.Forster, and i really like it. he described tolerance in a delicate way. he says tolerance could be either positive or negative, depends on which aspect you are looking at it. Tolerance is a strategy that needs to be learned by people. the example that is given in the essay is about World War 2, that how the Nazi's couldn't put up with the different race of people, therefore, a massive massacre towards Jews began. if people insist on asking for the root reason that caused the Germans kill all the Jews? i will say, there were none. with no tolerance people hold discrimination against each other, to people who have different opinions; different color skins; different races, languages, or even accents. even a tiny bit of difference could cause discrimination. moreover, the fact of having discrimination exists, is that people did not have a big heart, not big enough to accept others. the writer even pointed out that the most important after war reconstruction wasn't the concrete construction of a country but the tolerance lied within people's heart. with tolerance the world could be a better place.
