Landscape of Relationships: Tolerance vs Acceptance
What is tolerance?
Tolerance is the state of “putting up with something without directly opposing it.” It brings up ideas of enduring or allowing certain behaviors. But it doesn’t mean embracing or supporting these behaviors or actions.
It’s a head thing
What is acceptance?
Acceptance is the state of opening yourself up completely to a situation, not how your mind sees it. Acknowledging the reality of a situation without the need to change it or resist it. Being open to differences and embracing them through love and compassion.
It’s a heart thing
Tolerance
It involves the suppression of difficult emotions. Can lead to feelings of resentment and anger due to lack of acceptance or understanding.
Acceptance
This process can lead to feelings of love, compassion, and empathy. The more that we feel connected to someone the deeper our understanding is.
