Tolerance : A Magical tool to healthy Relationships

Man is gregarious by nature. He cannot survive in isolation. He needs people around to talk ,share,love and even compete! Life seems meaningless without such an affair. Seclusion is an abuse,isn't it? No matter it is a relationship or work-life ,the people around us are divergent in their ways and many a times not of our choice. But,we have to keep going as the culture demands and their comes a point when hostility,  differences and collisions start making their way and life struggles for a breathing space! 

Is diversity actually a curse? Not, Of Course. If their were no differences in natures , behavior , backgrounds and even cultures of people their would have been monotony around where every one  would think like the other and no fresh infusions occur.Imagine  a rainbow with a single shade! Life seems meaningless.

But, are we mature enough to Accept people as they are ?Do we respect their differences? Are we ready to tolerate their diversities to generate peace and love around? To make them feel wanted ,valued and loved. A sense of tolerance needs to be nurtured ,supported and instilled in a society as a common culture where work places are getting infused with people all around the world and societies turning into global vintages.
