The Art of Tolerance
excerpts from an essay by Wilfred A. Peterson
Tolerance is understanding.
Tolerance is deep. It creates a foundation of faith in humanity underneath disagreements, thus preventing prejudice and resentment. It may reject the argument, but it always respects the man....
Tolerance refuses to hate....
Tolerance is sympathetic. It looks through mental barriers into the human heart....
Tolerance does not look down on others, it looks up to them....
Tolerance towers above differences. It is bigger than race, color, creed, or politics.
