Tolerance and respect: a difficult choice!

When we talk about tolerance and respect, generally, we think that it is the same thing. But in fact there is a difference between the two.
In fact, “tolerance”: it is supporting what the others. This is accept that? Is l? Other, even if at the bottom of ourselves on n is not of any d? Agree with how it behaves.
D? The other hand, “respect”: it is a respect for someone? One or something. This is to have the consideration of respect for that person or thing.
As you can see, there is a difference between tolerance and respect.

This is d? Elsewhere that? That perfectly Goethe, when he said: “Tolerance should not be that? A transitory state. It should lead to respect. Tolerate: it is offensive. ”
This last point is extremely important. This shows that tolerate n is not respected. However, tolerance: it is not so bad. But that is only a simple step, which should lead to pure and simple respect for people and things.

As a concrete example:

You tolerate your husband s heart but you don? Have not? Ways of consideration for him. Here you can see that tolerate n is not respected. This is very remote and I think in this case: it is rather derogatory, demeaning to the step-brother. This is as if you say, I? Accepts your presence but I can not lend you any attention.

Of course, tolerate: it is already a positive act: it is always better than to reject it. At least the person who is allowed? S no sense of? Be totally misunderstood. Obviously, l? Next step is to accept his way of doing or living. Often: it is a lengthy process which? Not necessarily leads to compliance, which is? Ultimate? S acceptance of what? You are deep within ourselves.

In addition, do not forget that tolerance, or better still, the respect, walk in both directions. If you want that? We respect you, you must also respect others. And then: it is very difficult, as in most cases, you feel you because you think your way to behave is impeccable while d? Others think: it is their way of doing that is the best.

D? Also sometimes irresistible your quest will be futile respect, if not impossible. It may be that the way you behave you go to? Against “good thinking” in the dominant society. This is the case, for example, homosexuals. These are increasingly tolerated in society. The polls, about people increasingly. But are they, however, observed. People really respect the way they live? When we look at the number of homophobic attacks, what the parents of families? Homosexuals often say, “among others, it does not bother me, but not me! “Do you believe that? It? This act of respect? I quote l? Homosexuals as such: it is the most powerful today.

This is d? Elsewhere for this reason that I believe that? It might be, in very specific cases, dismiss the words tolerance and respect, and replaced by the term “indifference” in the sense of selflessness, detachment . Maybe people live better with each other?
