My tolerance levels are certainly lower than usual. I need some extra help with the whole understanding and compassion thing right now. But I guess all I can do is keep *trying* to be tolerant of everyone around me.
I've always tried to live by the belief that everyone's tolerances are different. Just because it seems like the other person is having too hard a time with something that you think is no big deal, doesn't mean that he or she is stretched thin and having a hard time. This helps me remain compassionate for those who, on the surface, do seem to be "just a whiner". Afterall, and I don't mean to 'toot my own horn', god has blessed me with an amazing strength. I surprise myself alot of the time.
With that said, there are times when I see those who claim to be having a hard time I just want to slap some sense into them. There are some people who just don't realize that many of their troubles, or atleast stressors, they bring on themselves. I now this isn't very Christian of me, but enough is enough. You are grown adults! for Pete's sake. Grow up, man up and do what needs to be done; this includes making sacrifices to get the job done.
