Betty Shine once said - -
"Tolerance is a virtue that could be practised more often than it is,
Try to look at the problems you have concerning others by reversing the situation.
This process brings many things to light, and one of them might be your own intolerance.
Think before you speak or act - it only takes a minute.
Now before the man hostage, Boo, Fluffy, Goody and anyone who has spoken to me for longer than 5 seconds has a coronary from laughing too hard, I AM a tolerent person. But my tolerence just extends to those less fortunate or less able than myself or if you have some sort of special need. If however, you're an incompetent, beurocratic idiot, an utter Snag or just a general waste of oxygen then I'm afraid I could possbily be perceived as 'slightly unfriendly'... ahem... ;0)
Think again, before you utter words that cause another pain
Wounded hearts are slow in healing, if they ever heal again
What's the use in being sorry, when regrets are all in vain?
So curb your tongue for just a moment - think again
I think I've got tolerance, because I tolerated my mother in law for many years. I used to grit my teeth, swear under my breath and smile sweetly. That is definately tolerance In my eyes.
i've just been tolerant a guy at work has been buggin me to get him a repalcement car as his wife is about to give birth and he wants a 5 door not 3, so every car i;ve found for him he's turned down, this last excuse, a mondeo's a kerb crawlers car

I'm incredibly tolerant and have oodles of patience..............but I have no 'slow-burn'. Once my patience has been exhausted I travel from 'hacked-off' to 'incandescent' in the blink of an eye.............fortunately, I calm down in about the same amount of time.
I am and have to be a very tolerant person, I have realised I am also a very mentally strong person. I have also become more outspoken and honest and sometimes that is not a good thing, but I am working on it.
