Many social media posts are guilty of changing the mindset of young people, in fact the elderly ones are beginning to be fooled. How disturbing!
Who will help the younger ones understand that some virtues may look boring now, but these virtues will definitely grant you the best results in the long run?
Any kind of relationship entails two or more people. These people are from different culture, background, environment, upbringing and posses different knowledge, influence, wealth, power and most importantly, character.
To achieve desired results, these different breeds come together to cooperate.
Now, with the differences aforementioned, do you think it will be easy for some to pass same route with others till the final destination?
who will sacrifice his/her knowledge for what is being currently taught?
who will forgo his/her influence and be treated like a commoner?
... and we all know every man from nature is egocentric except for some who responsibly taught themselves to act otherwise.
This is where Tolerance is awarded
Youths of today are being sentimentally beguiled to express how they feel whenever their peace is almost compromised. Well, that is not a bad idea. They are also wrongly motivated to leave something or someone that stresses the hell out of them, not also a bad idea. Unfortunately,
most of these quotes are being applied in their various relationships with people, not understanding that, no matter who you are and how perfect you are, sometimes and for a long time you can also be a stress to someone else.
You wonder Why?
It is normal and inevitable, because we all have our differences in almost everything and for there to be an agreement, it requires tolerance.
Tolerance entails your patience with things or people.
Being patient with people including the cooperate world can gradually reveal to you the very best of people character. When you finally see that there is a light within people that you can tap from, there will be millions of reasons to protect such relationship. But if you had not waited maybe a little bit, you definitely will not see it.
When tolerating someone, always observe closely, investigate and be detailed in analysing such person. This is important in knowing the part of their life that may suit yours.
Examine all your relationships and tell yourself the truth:
have you been patient enough?
Cooperate relationship, marriage, church relationships, friendships, all requires patient!
Now, don't be fooled by most social media well designed quotes that emanated from dumb boxes, rather use the virtues that was once appreciated, because we definitely desire sustainability in all that we do. isn't that what you want?
I always say, truth can never get old and truth can never turn to a lie no matter the number of years of its revelation!
Abusing Tolerance?
You might find yourself in a contradictory position, where people are aware about your character of tolerance and hence, they begin to abuse or rather, misuse it.
What will you do?
You go into investigation and begin to pinpoint who amongst your foes is abusing such privilege. Notwithstanding, even though tolerance is a virtue, it won't be justified when it has become overly bridged. When you have noticed this and making sure you have tested enough patience with such person, then you can act upon it as an issue.
What Next?
Cordial confrontation could be a best bet since we are all about a lasting relationship. If such abuse still persist, then it will be right for you to keep distance. Well, that is on a personal opinion. You could still give it another try :)
Truthfully, we get to connect with 5,000 people and at the end of the day, we feel at home with just 50. It is just normal that you can't be patient for everybody but can use patience as a tool to reveal the ones who will stay closer.
