Tolerance

Submitted by Nick reed (Australia), Jan 9, 2009 at 05:28

Fellow survivors of the Falopian Highway. I sugest that we dont judge other cultures, religions or traditions without examining some of our own. We can choose our friends but get lumbered with our relations... We can choose our beliefs in life but cant choose our neighbours... we can act our lives as we wish, why not our cousins be allowed the same right. All cultures, religions and societies ask only to be respected. When tolerated respect becomes a demand to be respected is when situations can become explosive. Tolerance (humanitarian, environmental,animal rights, political, religious etc) within limits (working inwards from all sides) is all this world needs, with greed left out of the equation of course, to be a much nicer happier place.
