TOLERANCE

Let's define TOLERANCE; "the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with."

Here is that definition again, "the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with."

There are two words in that definition that are key to being TOLERANT or HAVING TOLERANCE.

Those words are "ability" and "willingness"

Now, this may come as no surprise but the definition does NOT include words like "unlimited," "infinite", or "endless".

When it comes to TOLERANCE there a point which ENOUGH is ENOUGH. 

There can only be so much tolerating, especially when individuals continually behave in a manner that is challenging you and your boundaries. These individuals may also claim to "respect" you but their actions are completely opposite.

These individuals live in a delusional state where they believe that because of the "status" or "position" they can behaving negatively with impunity.  In case, those individuals forgot, impunity means "exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action."

Be tolerant. Have Tolerance For Others but remember there is a limit. What that limit is, is solely up to you. You decide when enough is enough. Then once decided tolerate no more of their nonsense, especially those that show you no respect.
