Tolerance is the ability to accept others are not wrong nor backwards in their cultures and religions. Tolerance is the trait of noting casting judgment on others that might seem alien. Tolerance is about being able to live together peacefully without hatred and resentment for one another. - Christopher [Redlands, CA, US] 08.09.2010
I prefer the word "acceptance" over tolerance. To me, tolerance is tinged with the negative aspect of "putting up with" someone or something, but not fully embracing it. - Alejandra [Altadena, CA, US] 08.08.2010
Tolerance, to me is having compassion and a sense of open-mindedness when it comes to the things you know nothing about. Beings that i have a holocaust survivor in my family, i was taught that if a person is different, you shouldn't frown upon them because they are not familiar, you should embrace them because you are learning something new and valuable. - Angelique [Northridge, CA, US] 07.06.2010

Everyone is born unique. You will always come across meeting someone you do not like or have a certain quality you do not approve of.

Tolerance to me is like looking out of an airplane window 10,000 ft. above the ground. You see people walking, driving, functioning in exactly the same way as the person next to them.

No stereotyping what so ever; simply the human race existing as it ought to. - Nicole [El Monte, CA, US] 04.13.2010

To "tolerate" another, is to minimally accept a person, to allow his existance, but to my mind, "tolerance" is not a strong enough word, if one hopes for a world redeemed. Tolerance grudgingly acknowledges difference. I want more: I want a culture where differences are celebrated! A place where one not only listens to and respects difference, but where one anticipates joy and delight in the experience of the other! - Diana [Corpus Christi, TX, US] 02.10.2010
