I agree wholeheartedly that tolerance is an exercise in patience with one another. We never know what though processes are going on in another’s head. We don’t know how much pain or suffering needs to happen before someone understands a particular principle. We don’t know but what it is we who need to go through the trials before we are the ones who will finally understand what someone else is trying to express. Tolerance of the differences in how we speak, address one another, how we behave, etc. truly is an exercise in patience that blesses us all lives as we each struggle to learn the truths our Father in Heaven needs us to know. Thanks for the comment.

When we understand the rules, the rest will fall into place, and later they will be realized as actually based on principles. People will always question the things they do not understand, or view as exceptions, but when we grow to understand principles of Truth more perfectly, we find there are no exceptions to God’s laws. Questioning one another helps us to formulate answers by seeking to learn. I see tolerance more as patience, but not as an end to questioning.
