Tolerance. Yup, that is more than just a word. That is a value of life which we should has in ourselves to live in a world full of difference like this. Tolerance is a shape of respect for another people choice or differences. Like we know, there are so many differences in this world that actually we have to accept it well. But maybe there are some people see that as a problem. Those differences such as, skin color, religion, culture.
Skin color, it had ever been a big problem. The black man are boycoted. Their right capacity is less than the white man. Why should is it going to be mind? Why we have to black or white someone. Remember! We are all just a human God's creted. Nobody can choose what they want to be look like when they are born. This case is just too terrible, but this is just one of many cases that showed intolerance.
Beside skin colour, maybe we have known the Big thing that still being a reason to starts a war, yes, that is religion. Religion is a full of risk topic to be discussed because it relate to personal’s choice. There are some religions that is believed by people in the world. Religion is just like a skin colour. We can not choose it at first because It is given by our parents since we were born. But the difference is skin colour can not be changed, religion can. It is a human right to choose a religion. But, some people can not understand that human right. We can not blame another religions and say them bad just because we don't believe it. People in another religions believing, probably have the Same thought with us that their religion is the Most right One. But don't make that thought destroy our nature as a human. Bombing, killing, war, and another bad things that done by people who admit as a religion activist is just a fool thing, those people are indicated not learn their religion well.
Islam, Catolic, Protestan, Buddha, Hindhu, and another religions that is believed by people, I think they all teach about the kindness, peacefull, generousity, and of course tolerance. For example Islam, in Alquran as a holy book of Islam has been explained clearly in surah Al Kafirun thatsay "for me is my religion, and for you is your religion" it means that we have to be faith and obey all Islam rules, but we also have to tolerance and make a good relationship with another religions people. This should be understood and done by moslem, but the fact is still there are many bombing or chaos done by some people who admit as a moslem activist, with faithful of Islam as a reason. That is WRONG! BIG WRONG! As a moslem I am very irritated with that case. Killing, bombing are totally not a humane action, that is criminal and worse. Im pretty sure, like Islam, another religions also teach to keep tolerance and make a good relationship with people of another religion. But it surely back to people personality. I think we are as a people in religion, must learn about our each beliving deeper and well. So we know what is the really right things and what is the bad things. And don't take the wrong path. I am sure nobody will do that bad things that will disturb another religion people.
Anyway tolerance and intolerance still shown in some case. For example, I ever been told by my aunty lives in America, she wears hijab, but some people in there still can not accept it. They have a thought that moslem wears hijab is a terorist, then they throw peanut Shell in front of my aunty's apartment door and call her terorist. That is so pathetic.
But in another side, I ever watched Moslem American youtuber video, in that video, the youtuber did sholat as a moslem prayer, on the crowd street. And look what happen! There are two Old man and woman which is non moslem, they put a thing infront of the youtuber as a sign that the youtuber is praying and noone will not accross in front of the youtuber. That is so wonderful moment I think.
Anyway, the example above is one of many cases in life that we should face it by tolerance. Differences make the world getting dizzy and has a big problem but we can change this world to be a better world by make our mind. Make it to be better and has a positive thinking. Being open minded, so we can accept the difference by not see only in one side. Differences plus tolerance would be so beautiful!
