In our daily life, we usually use the word "tolerance" only when we talk about religious relationship. Actually, tolerance is not limited to religions only. Tolerance, which derives from a Latin word "tolere", means an activity to lift the burdens, the suffering, the challenges and difficulties together. Tolerance can be understood as well as an attitude to understand and respect others although we have different opinions, different arguments, different choice and so on.
Here are some values that students can learn and apply:
- We are all unique and have something valuable to offer and share.
- Tolerance is accepting others and appreciating differences.
- Tolerance is accepting myself even when I make mistakes.
- Peace is the goal; tolerance is the method.
- Tolerance is being open and receptive to the beauty of differences.
- The seeds of intolerance are fear and ignorance.
- The seed of tolerance, love, is watered by compassion and care.
- To tolerate life's inconveniences is to let go be light, make others light and move on.
- Tolerance recognizes individuality and diversity while removing divisive masks and defusing tension created by ignorance.
- Tolerance is the ability to face difficult situations.
