Tolerance

Dear friends! Today we are speaking about tolerance. To begin with I’d like to understand what the term tolerance means. There is no definite translation of the word into Russian. It can be translated as patience and sympathy, understanding and respecting somebody or something who or which is more or less different. People of different nations live in different places with different climate and nature. They speak different languages; have different customs, traditions, habits and ways, laws and values of life, manners and appearance. To express our thoughts and ideas, to understand each other we can use the English language as international. But what helps our hearts to see and understand the beauty and value of other people? – Tolerance!
