Is it too difficult?

Tolerance is the ability to listen and accept others, valuing the different ways of understanding life, is not only the respect and consideration for the difference, but the willingness to admit a different way of being and acting.
This concept as reasonable and simple to understand is not easy to apply in real life. We see that clearly on this site. Although I must admit there are exceptions, most of the times when I read a blog here I find not only negative comments, but humiliating and hurtful words. It seems like we want to prove not only we are right but to destroy the dignity of another person in the process of showing how mistaken they are. Simple comments or jokes become pitched battles where there are many insults and rudeness just to win an argument. In my opinion, since most of us are looking for a romantic relationship, good friends or just nice company, we should direct our energy to share our ideas and aspirations always offering the best of us. Is it too difficult?confused

Maritarosi, yes it is difficult because as I have said many times, we are humans not angels, nor devils. If we are agreeing all the time we are either hypocrites or sheep. You are right in what you say but I can also see that some people misunderstand a strong point or a "normal argument" seeing something awful and threatening in them. Appealing all the time for tolerance and peace and suffocating every argument or strong point may be dangerous too.

As always, the good old balance is the best... But we humans are too imperfect to maintain it all the time. Even in nature there are storms and sunny days... All in all, I prefer honest people and opinions than some sugar-covered hypocrisy.
I agree with Jana , .......... Saskia, no i am not russian.....Hi Jana how are you going love?
Mari,

If we agree all the time it would be unnatural.

I advocate fighting if disagreements occur.

Then moving on without holding resentments.

I advocate what is attainable,not a pipe dream as you ask.
It's difficult for some people and impossible for others. It just depends on the person.
Hi Ariel I see your point. But being honest doesn't mean being rude. But as I just said its just my opinion. peace
I am fine, thank you Saskia, and this is one of my favorite pics of you! thumbs up

I just think strong points and "normal" arguments are starting being demonized here. This way soon we will be frozen/locked in a peaceful tolerant CS group hug... wink
Hi mary rachelle you are so right! I can see it's almost impossible for others.
Poor Mari,

I hesitate to wonder what kind of a sanitized world you live in?

Is it a world where everyone is "polite?" where everyone engages in a collective group hug?

It appears to me that you have a very naive,childlike view of reality.

I'm sick of some of the crybaby CS wimps on here.

Toughen up!
Maryracheele,

The word is spelled this way..."hypocrisy".
Wow! Zandaar where have you been. Haven't seen you in forever.wave
Zandar,

And we will sorely miss you......how can the blogs survive without your input?

By the way,don't think I've ever seen you?dunno hijack
Hi Mary - New partner, new apartment, been kept busy.

Cyber - You don't know me cause you are only a K.I.A Newbie.
You think like an ex-friend of mine thats it's smart to be rude and outrageous. You should read one of my old blogs - "Is blogging bad for you"

Tracey,

What cowardish is this? You post then run?

I do treat my friends and others with respect. The problem is my style is not pallatable to everyone's plate.

I debate with vigor. And some people cry because they lose the debate.

A kinder,gentler Cyber would be boring..is that what you want?dunno
Cyber - So why exactly is a non-single, non-looking doing on a dating site?

I am now in a similar position but, I have just recently met my partner also from CS.

Isn't it funny that you and your ilk always seem to have no photo?

Do you not reserve the right in your little world for Tracey to make a comment?

You get out what you put in..............

Bex - you know my feelings well.....

Ignorance is bliss...........but no excuse.

@ Z

If I was well and not going to die then I might have a better outlook on life but as it is I am who I am........That is no excuse either but it helps kill the pain.........
