“I could say analogously that tolerance is the affable appreciation of qualities, views, and actions of other individuals which are foreign to one`s own habits, beliefs, and tastes. Thus being tolerant does not mean being indifferent towards the actions and feelings of others. Understanding and empathy must also be present.” MeanDoeFeelingsActionIndividualBeliefUnderstandingViewsQualityHabitTasteEmpathyAppreciationToleranceIndifferentAffable Book:Albert Einstein, The Human Side: Glimpses from His Archives Source: Albert Einstein, The Human Side: Glimpses from His Archives
“Our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment.” PeopleKindRealFactsFeelingsSinTakenMereCharityToleranceSpiteSinnerSuperiorityIndulgenceParodyPresumptionMerrimentDeep Feeling Book:Christian Reflections Source: Christian Reflections
