23. imho... tolerance
Fri Aug 24, 2012, 07:22 PM
Aug 2012

is about respecting your neighbor.

But it's a 2-way street. You have to smile and wave at the weird family that goes to church 3 times per week and gives you dirty looks when you ride your bike in front of their house AND you have to be tolerant of those of different skin color or sex orientation.

Tolerance for all means tolerance for the thing u dont like too
