If Religion Isn’t About Tolerance, What the Hell Is It About?

If you are intolerant then you live with constant stress.

It is much more peaceful to accept life as it is.

You do what you can and you let go, and “allow” what you can’t change.

You are the only person you are in control of, and certainly the only one YOU can change.

When you find in your life that you are spending time focusing on what is wrong with someone else, it is useful to turn your witness on yourself.

What you hate most in others is often what you most dislike about yourself.

When you are frustrated, angry, weary, fearful, or just plain uncomfortable, you are best off keeping your mouth shut.  Be very still, while you breathe and figure out the best next step, word, or exit.

Tolerance means loving others as you love yourself.  Any religion that speaks of any thing else is a product of human error.

Whatever you call God, and even if you refuse to call God, we are all brothers and sisters.

Without tolerance there is no peace.

Without peace you will be sick.

Peace is right up there with laughter for the best medicine.

Too bad you can’t sell it.

For a happier healthier life:

  • free your heart from hatred
  • free your mind from worries
  • live simply
  • give more
  • expect less

Many blessings,

Carrie

Carrie, You give so many critical life lessons in this post. And I totally agree with you!!! Being intolerant of others adds stress in the body and on the mind. What is the result? An illness that is sometimes life threatening to the very person choosing to judge others.

I do believe, as you mentioned in this post,that laughter is the best medicine. A nice big joyful laugh always relieves the stress.

As usual another great post!!

Mckay K, So glad you enjoyed this post. Religion isn’t a subject I bring up very often, but I feel this issue is so important to health that it had a place on my blog.

You can tolerate others without agreeing with them, yes?

Many blessings,
Carrie

Carrie
I belief in The law of karma
Choosing actions that bring happiness and success to others ensures the flow of happiness and success to you.

Keep up the good work. :o)
