TOLERANCE
True tolerance goes far beyond outward politeness. As Patricia Ventura explains, it requires deep inner work, honest self-examination, and a willingness to confront our own egoism. Intolerance drains our energy and fuels divisions, while genuine tolerance lightens our spiritual load and restores harmony. By observing intolerance within ourselves—without judgment—we gradually cultivate a more patient, compassionate way of being toward everyone, including those we find most difficult.
