Tolerance Week

OK, is there more than tolerance

Lets Do Just a Little Bit More...

 

I will not tolerate you

I will not appease you

I will not accept you

   just because of who you are...

 

I will not berate you

I will not denegrate you

I will not integrate you

   just because of who you are...

 

It is not ok

It is not all right

I will not accept

your behaviour

   just because of who you are...

 

It is not who you are

   It is what you do

  

       or do not...

 

   that interests me.

 

We are agents of freedom

We are instruments of choice

I will see the nature

Of your essence

by the flavours you create...

 

I judge not

Yet I be judged.

I tolerate not

Yet I merely be

tolerated.

I accept not

Yet I only live

for acceptance.

 

I do one specific thing

 

I embrace you

for what you create --

and who

you

become..

[SHEEMA HUQ]

distingusing, 'tolerance' from 'acceptance' very competently, a really good piece, I felt Paul, I thinks that one of your many stengths is the way you deliberate such aspects of life, well done

[Holly Mason]

interesting stream of thought-truly
I do one specific thing-I love how you just lay out who you are what you are and how you will judge others-very refreshing no guessing just this is it and that's it!
love that darn title-however I think the week has been extended*)
thank you for sharing sir
