Being Tolerant

I am one person who believes of tolerance, of the concept is let others live. That human choice should be free and un-influenced. The reason being: that we live in an age where we have unlimited access to every form of data and information available. Either it is religion or political knowledge. Then why is it then do we try to force our own ideologies on other people. Why can’t we simply be tolerant of others feelings. We live in a nation in which every person is involved in every other persons business or personal matters. Hatred grows through these. If people believe that I don’t want people to stop caring for others. I simply want people to be TOLERANT of others and learn to love people.
Tolerance is basically the appreciation of diversity and the ability to live and let others live. It is the ability to exercise a fair and objective attitude towards those whose opinions, practices, religion, nationality and so on differ from one's own.[1] As William Ury notes, "tolerance is not just agreeing with one another or remaining indifferent in the face of injustice, but rather showing respect for the essential humanity in every person."
