What is Tolerance?

In the act of Human Rights, the parameters of fundamental rights and freedoms are considered. As per the stated definition by UN General Assembly Resolution No.51/201-

• Tolerance is seen as a sign of respect, acceptance, and appreciation of the diversity and countless richness of our world's cultures.
• Tolerance is to maintain harmony with differences among human beings. We should not glorify tolerance being an imposed legal and political obligation; instead, normalize it as a moral duty

Tolerance is a concept that manipulates the rebellious mind of a peace-lover person. Wars are run by rebels and not guns and other war equipment. It helps in preserving the country's environment, getting destroyed because of conflicts. Moreover, it also helps avoid the pernicious situation where blood flows along with tears like a river stream.
