Tolerance

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

I can be more tolerant by not judging anyone based on what they believe or like. Tolerant, to me, means to accept the fact that this person or thing is like this. I should not judge on what they do and why they do that. I have hated gays when I was younger. But then when I started to learn more I began to forgive them and other things. I should not judge someone for what they believe or like. Anytime someone says "You're gay" I look at them and say "Do you know what those sorts of people go through?" And from now on once I see a gay or anything else in existence I'd give them a smile and continue. I wish people would accept one another and be more tolerant. Words can ruin ones life. But saying certain things on what they believe in is so rude. I personally think that people would be more tolerant and stop trying to change people on what they believe in.
