I have been thinking a bit about tolerance and intolerance lately.
I have witnessed a few situations that caused me to think about it and to wonder why people think/act/react in ways that they do. For the majority there is usually a larger underlying issue, I understand that. What I don't understand is why people believe that THEIR thoughts/beliefs/practices ( or lack thereof) are better than anyone else's? It's the holier than thou attitude that I find hard to accept and understand.
People expect respect for their beliefs but more often than not - the more vocal ones are the ones with the least respect for others.. how does that work? I struggle to understand the logic behind this. My understanding is that respect is a mutual thing - a two way street. Maybe I am too idealistic and naive.
I struggle to understand a lot of things
But this concerns me.
The human races' lack of tolerance and respect for each other saddens and concerns me .
A lot
I was never a huge fan of Michael Jackson, however I can't get this song out of my head as I think of these things at the moment: Heal the world
Not much more to say today really - other than I wish there was more tolerance in the world - at all levels - then this world might be healed a little and be an even better place for us all
I'll close my eyes, make a wish, and blow.....
