Tolerance
It is best to be tolerant with others. Sometimes people will be annoying, but remember, most will acknowledge their own errors; no matter how gradual. Have you ever done something stupid or rude and then afterwards thought that maybe you should’ve acted differently?
If you have just about had it with someone, try your best not to snap at them. No doubt, when you are frustrated with someone, you want to say all the hurtful things you can think of. But is it really worth it? Do they deserve such personal attacks for doing trivial things like wanting to talk to you when you’re busy?
Remember, your words can have long-term effects. When your parents are trying to get you to do your homework by telling you you’ll fail school and won’t get anywhere in life, remember, they have nothing but good intentions for you. They’re just trying to scare you into doing it. They want you to do your work because they want good things for you! So consider carefully before you start yelling back at them and say something like, ‘What would you know? What are you? Oh, that's right, NOTHING!’ They were only trying to help. You should be thankful that they went into such elaborate detail predicting your life as a toilet cleaner. Even though you might not find it helpful, they think they're doing the right thing.
In aggressive outbursts of frustration, you may something you won't remember in ten minutes, but something that the person you said it to will never be able to forget. Think about your words carefully. Hurting others is just too easy.
Be patient with others and hopefully, they'll do the same for you.
Karma. :)

I used to think tolerant was a positive word, but people told me it was not. They said it was a word for people to use to simply leave something be. To tolerate people means you accept that they're there, it doesn't mean you respect or appreciate them being there.
I thought that was pretty true. So I don't use that word. But I do agree with your post.
Cheers!

While what you said is quite true, you can only be one of either two things: Tolerant or intolerant.
Possibly, but I believe the spectrum to be much wider than that. That's all.
Jingle bells, jingle bells...
