Tolerating Tolerance.

By virtue of the title, I’m sure it wouldn’t take a genius to apprehend this as another one of my theoretical rants. I promise I won’t leave you feeling confused, resented and fatalistic like I always do. As much as it bears a shrill and dreary tone, it might just give you a hint of enlightenment.

And this week I discovered:

Tolerance + Consistency = Accomplishments.

Tolerance is virtuous moral trait that is existent in everyone regardless of much or little of it one may have. The more you endure throughout your journey in overcoming the obstacles placed before you, the greater the glory in surmounting the difficulties. However, there are a few things one will have to deal with in relations to being a patient and magnanimous individual. I shall name the ones that came to mind while sitting in my office tolerating the pounding of my boss’s iron fist.

Misconceptions

When one’s ability to tolerate is equated with being afraid, soft and yielding, the person is faced with a dilemma on weather to lash out unreasonably at every dispute just to attain a respectable status with his peers. We all know that being temperamental and “hot-headed” doesn’t do anything but create more problems. Then why are there still stupid, ignorant dicks in society blaming the patient ones as people who are not able to stand up for themselves?

Do you really think that’s why they’re avoiding confrontation?

Because of fear?

It infuriates me when many fail to see the real reason as to why a person bows out when in a dispute. It’s not necessarily because the person is scared. Some of them are simply smart enough to know what’s worth fighting for and what’s not. Walking away from a fight doesn’t make you any less a man. Yes, it is a contradiction when I say that as the very thought of it makes me angry too. But is it worth it to argue with stupid people? Will it make me any better than them by slaying them with my sword of retaliation?

Obviously not.

When the dispute isn’t productive and isn’t worth my time, I move on. Many can’t.

At What Point Will Tolerance Reward?

Like I always quote, everything is best when done in moderation. So how much must a person swallow before it actually comes to fruition? It all depends. One must possess the ability to decipher and apprehend a dispute while practicing the best course of action which sometimes, could mean confrontation. Though not instantly, the more you tolerate and when others start to notice your consistent character, you begin to earn their respect in time. And as we all know, when something is achieved through endless toil and patience. It is the most satisfying.



In conclusion, a person’s ability to swallow a burden and move on with his head up high makes him more of a man than a person who lashes out at every thing he is annoyed at without making a single rational attempt to appreciate a situation. Tolerating gives us ample time to think.

Anger always leaves us with a vast emptiness.

Time to tolerate the intolerable.

Sigh, The things you need to deal with to get what you want.
