In a relationship, it is often the case that people have some flaws or shortcomings. It would be easier for each partner to just walk away, but that doesn’t solve anything. A healthy relationship is often based on tolerance and understanding of each other and in a healthy relationship you can gradually improve each other’s way of life and work together against defects.
While it would be nice, although not possible to achieve absolute tolerance towards a partner. A measure of tolerance is required for a successful relationship.
I have learned over time that true tolerance is a higher level of compassion and understanding. Too often, tolerance is confused with acceptance in our society. This excess of tolerance and acceptance can become a festering sore in our relationships and cause a great deal of emotional pain. We are sure our hand-picked tolerance quotes will inspire you to start building a stronger and United world.
