“What
is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of
frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other’s folly. That
is the first law of nature.” ~ Voltaire; French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher.
It is really easy to give in to anger and all sorts of anxiety, specially when dealing with really stubborn and illogical people–i.e., people of set beliefs, fixed ideas, attached to traditions of old, and all this nonsense people fall into out of sheer ignorance and a lazy mind. Basically most people fall into this category, but quite often these still can be good and decent people, people who try to do their best even with the mental conditioning they have, and sometimes people do not try to even do their best. It can be really frustrating to deal with this erratic crowd.

But we have to remind ourselves that people come from all sorts of
places, environments, families, and with all different experiences that
have shaped their minds one way or the other; so, for better or worse,
these individuals must be seen from a psychological level, not just to
understand what we can understand about them but to keep your own mind
in peace when dealing with them.
And your mind must remain in peace and harmony, because, even though it can be difficult at times, it is all about you and not them, it is all about communion with yourself through a mind which is not in any agitation whatsoever.
Each one of us has a purpose for
being the way we are, and we may not understand why this or that person
reacts one way or the other, or why this or that person thinks one way
or the other; however, life is conscious and wise, and it is not our
business or concern to straighten them out or make them better. Your
only concern must be your own self and to show respect and love for
people, and if they don’t care for you then just walk away and keep your
ego tamed.
Watch your own ego, which always wants to fix everything and everybody.
