Tolerance is a necessity.
The nature has brought us together in such a way that we just have to tolerate our co-existence. Look at this, you’re a man and she is a woman, your living together peacefully is fully rested on how much you can tolerate her bad side and how much she can equally tolerate your worst side too.

There is no one who is perfect in behavior and even appearance.
She may be garrulous, coy, or infidel…that’s who she is. Don’t scold her, let her see the reason for her to change the behavior by your good deeds: perseverance and tolerance.
He may be stubborn, unbearable or wayward…that’s who he is. Don’t bully him. Change his behavior to good by your tolerance and not condemnation. Remember, even you too are not perfect. And for whatever your bad side is, that’s who you’re. You can always change your ways more easily by people’s strength of tolerance.

Everyone has something one can always learn from either they are good or otherwise. Let us learn how to tolerate ourselves, in churches, mosques, markets, places of work, anywhere and everywhere. Tolerance is a habit that will always be appreciated. A bird says “since the hunter has learnt to shoot without missing, I have also learnt to fly without perching”. This bird has just saved itself and the hunter from engaging in a life long destruction by tolerating that, the hunter always wants to shoot and kill but birds that want to survive must avoid being killed by safeguarding themselves other than fighting their enemy.

Meanwhile, as humans, there is limit to what we can tolerate. So, this is not a way of encouraging wrong attitudes rather the sermon capitalizes on enduring one another.
