Tolerance

Being tolerant of other is not an easy task. Intolerance is a plague on humanity. No one is free from it. We all partake of intolerance at one time or another, and there are natural laws that apply to intolerance that should make us sit up and take notice of our actions. One natural Law is the Law of Cause and Effect, another is what you sow, you reap.

If you sow intolerance, you will reap intolerance. If you sow hatred, you will reap hatred. If you kill, you will be killed. If you think that you got away with dishonest illegal actions and you have fooled a lot of people, you didn’t. You will reap the consequences in one way or another.

Intolerant acts cause a great deal of heartache and suffering that has lead to drug use, alcoholism, wars and suicide. You may say that intolerance is OK at times. It is only a response to other people’s action or fear. Oh?

Intolerance generates negative karma. Karma is the effects of a person's actions that determine their fate in this life and the next incarnation.

Even ministers have to deal with intolerance in their life. They are supposed to tolerate the actions of others even if they believe that those actions are “stupid”.

Intolerance in this world is what causes all of the problems. Religious intolerance is one of the greatest.

What about a nation’s intolerant of their neighbor, just because of difference in language, a different culture, or arguing over a few feet of their national borders?

Is there anyone who can provide the answers to all of the intolerance in this world? Well, maybe one and you can guess who it is - yes its God. But is God a human being? If God is would He be able to put up with all of the intolerance of His people?

No human on this earth can put up with intolerance. We are taught from birth that we are somebody and we MUST defend who we are. And it doesn’t matter who the other guy is. Sound familiar?

I hope that you are better able to tolerate others. And I would like to have you think about just how much others affect you in your daily life and whether or not you’re able to live a life of tolerance. It’s our personal responsibility to do so.
