some time ago, I had one of the exquisite conversations with my beloved Empress China that between you and incense, we spend playing a multitude of topics. Must be exercised her intellect, mental speed, the game of words and, above all, the humor different types of Ph. One of the things I am grateful to life, and which I have the honor, is to have her, his friendship, his wisdom and his word.
remembered these days, a conversation in particular. Lately my days have been a whirlwind of things and situations. Life circumstances in which they must have the right boat anchor tied and fully insured. Also with the candle held firmly, watching studying each of the open ocean waves with a hand compass and charts to point. Dangerous time we live in times of double faces, smiles and grimaces and true friendships. Minefields, smiles and muted so dizzy. It is no doubt the sun and believe in the moon. I understand.
remembered, once again, the day when I revealed my total and complete as a bigot.
"Intolerant? You?" I said it, weaving a subtle smile in the air and playing, almost coquettishly, with its range of jade and silk paintings.
Confucian There was silence between us while she was lost in the clouds of a cloudless day, passed fifty stations and drilling a second eye, turned to me:
"Intolerant ... you? " breathed deeply, to finish with a certain: "Arguméntamelo." Keeping , without a trace of expression, his face fine china. Moment I fear, really.
tolerance I have been misrepresented. Globalization-be-me bobalización become dirty cloth as much use and abuse. I have been since pre ta size in food ready to go, in removable hat. Daily
see that being tolerant is fashionable, distort reality and the makeup, the out of the way we decorate. The dissenters are silent, silenced voices and the world continues.
Tolerance is a thorny path and is sent, to hell or high, for the first time. Is a constant "do what I do, because if you do it is sin" and look constant or Torquemada.
A small example. If a Western woman's going to an Islamic country, you MUST wear the veil. Out of respect or simply because they can kill. We of the Western countries and we must be tolerant of their religion and culture. But if a woman with a headscarf is a country West and is asked not to port, so the secular society or feminist note. The plot thickens, as they-especially the men of Islam, demand that they respect their religion and culture.
And I wonder. Do not assume that what is equal is not cheating?
We are tolerant but do not accept to share a table with someone of another color, we are tolerant but "that" -important face of disgust to be a vegetarian, Latino, gay, Goch, communist posh woman, tico, Chavez, gringo, geek, Moor, Concheta, sifrino, marginal and do not know how many more labels.
There is also what's : "You are a nothing, but as I'm smart, I agree. I am tolerant ". Played very well slip industrialized countries which are not so much.
Particularly I think tolerance goes beyond that. You understand, comprehend, understand, explain, accept, listen, listen, watch, observe, consider, feel, appreciate, and any number of verbs, on the other. You nurture another reality, another way to see my reality, is to know and understand that everything has at least two points of view. It is, ultimately, respect others, to know that we are not repositories of truth. You know we're not perfect.
My meaning of tolerance as an equal, something horizontal ... because we all go to the bathroom even once a week.
why I am intolerant, do not get along with the use of tolerance in these times.
Empress smiled and said:
"Tolerance top-down arrogance. Tolerance from the bottom up is submission. The tolerance equals to live and let live. "
Then, watching the horizon and saw the twilight " ... by the way, appreciated Sorcerer, is simply distorting reality madness "
her in her infinite wisdom is simply divine.
All the best for you.
