Tolerance of Intolerance


The way, how you deal with others, say very much about the kind of person you really are.

The History, unfortunately, give us some examples of the consequences and non-acceptance between different races, ethnics, nationalities or religions. Even in developed countries, in spite of doing laws to put every citizen in the same plan, there are some persons that have difficulties to accept that difference, yet. And more and more, these persons think that the others shouldn’t have the same rights.
Social developments have been done to end with discrimination and intolerance.
How it is possible to be allowed, yet? Are we equals or all different?
We are all equals, without doubt. And we are all different, in the end.
After all, what must we say?

Equal. We are all equals, because we have the same rights, no matter what race, ethnic, nationality, religion, education or social condition, we belong such as the right of live in liberty and security.
Different. We are all different too. On what? All born with a certain genetic code, inserted in a environment family, made up of a social and cultural context. Therefore, people with educations and different genes may become different persons, which enrich the world in which we live.
Being different is a matter of perspective: the others are different, but I’m different in their eyes.
How to fight intolerance?
Firstly, accepting that all are equal in rights and duties.
Secondly, understand that each person is unique and is not sex, race, nationality or religion that gives more or less dignity.
And finally, explain and convince, to all those around me, that difference enriches humanity and nobody should be discriminated against because of their difference.
