i am humbled to think each person witnesses and interprets life through the shades of their very unique personality. we may think what we're saying makes sense or believe our words are justified but i find often times how i believe the other person to be registering my words or even body language versus how they are actually interpreting is most always not the same reality.

hazrat inayat khan and a couple sayings on tolerance:
"Love which manifests as tolerance, as forgiveness,
that love it is which heals the wounds of the heart. "

"Man proves to be genuine by his sincerity;
to be noble by his charity of heart;
to be wise by his tolerance;
to be great by his endurance throughout the continually jarring influences of life."

" He who expects to change the world will be disappointed; he must change his view. When this is
done, then tolerance will come, forgiveness will come, and there will be nothing he cannot bear. "

"The first sign of the realization of truth is tolerance. "

"Tolerance does not come by learning, but by insight; by understanding that each one should be
allowed to travel along the path which is suited to his temperament. "

"Forbearance, patience, and tolerance are the only conditions which keep two individual hearts
united"

"In order to learn forgiveness, man must first learn tolerance. "

"Tolerance is the sign of an evolved soul. A soul gives the proof of its evolution in the degree of
tolerance it shows. "

"As one evolves spiritually one rises above the tendency to intolerance, for the reason that one
begins to see God besides seeing oneself and another person, and so one unites oneself with the
other person in God. "
