Tolerance in All Aspects
Tolerance is defined as an attitude of mind which means putting up with other people irrespective of racial, political, psychological, and religious differences. Tolerance is the basic principle of the ideology of Pakistan. Pakistan was achieved in the name of Islam. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) taught tolerance when hatred and apathy were the order of the day. Tolerance is not a weakness but a virtue par excellence. It can help different races and classes resolve their differences amicably and work together for the welfare of human beings.
Man is a Social Animal
Man is a social animal. He cannot live alone. He must depend on others for his survival. He must cooperate and seek help from others. Every affair of his life is strongly connected with other human beings. There is no way for him except that he must live peacefully with others. As there is diversity in attitudes, likings, thoughts, and approaches, it is essential to tolerate one another peasantry. We should acknowledge the right of others to have a different approach than ours and we should accept it whole-heartedly.
Nowadays, it is difficult to separate one nation from the other, because all the nations are almost mixed up. The Europeans have a prejudice against Muslims. They cannot tolerate the existence of any Muslim state in Europe. War in Bosnia is a vivid example of their fanaticism. Experts emphasize the need for tolerance for peaceful coexistence. If we have to save the world civilization from collapse, we will have to discard racial, psychological, and political prejudices. Tolerance, sympathy, art, and culture can achieve universal brotherhood.
