Tolorance--a Very Significant Word

A significant word

is tolerance.

We must find in our hearts

our own truth,

and allow the same

freedom of discovery

to others.

Many loving truths

live in diverse hearts.

The only imperative is

to try to find the truth

in one loving heart-

our own.

"The highest result of education is tolerance"--Helen Keller

We cannot and should not try to influence or control the thoughts and feelings of others.

There are many truths in the world which lead to the development of loving hearts. Each thinking individual must ultimately find his own path to wholeness.

What we can, however, seek to accomplish is to try to implement and ensure an open society that will allow the free and easy exchange of all information, and then trust that individuals given open access to all ideas will make loving choices( whether those choices be political, religious or social) that will ultimately benefit us all.
