Are you tolerant of others?

As in patience?..now that we are all over 50 years of age.

Do you get annoyed by what some others might say?

Because it doesn’t gel with what you believe , or that you think their opinion is so wrong…

Do you stay around and argue over it, or to some that would be discuss…

Why do some try and change that persons point of view.?

The reason I ask is…because I’m trying to figure it out, plus I will get insight into the question, hopefully from you guys,:grinning:

Questions like this are hard to answer in the context of a lifespan, there must have been a period where just about everything was annoying. :innocent: :biking_man: :man_pilot:

Sorry spitfire, I wasn’t being specific enough.

I mean at our age now , over fifty

Just edited my OP, to say now “ that we are over 50 years of age”…:+1::+1:

Thanks for the clarification pauline, I think when a person takes on responsibility, anger with folks can get replaced with amazement, not necessarily of the awesome variety. :man_factory_worker:

I’m sadly less tolerant now Pauline, when young I was very tolerant but I’m not so now. I think I’ve seen and heard such a lot that I dont really care if people spout their opinions , if interesting I’ll chat and then say my thoughts but I’ve learned no one is right .

I’m less tolerant of human beings now at one time I would listen to strangers talk about themselves but my mind wanders if I’m not interested , but if that person is suffering and needs a kindness then I will say or do what I can , I’d not be unkind .

I can easily stand back and say nout…I can easily stand forward and say what I feel. Really does depend on the place,person, and subject. Nothing to do with being older I do not think…maybe I am more tolerant though as have less mental scars to contend with.
When younger I was quite a different person anyway…mostly because of the people in my life then.

I think I’m more tolerant now than when I was younger. Everything was very “black & white” back then, so I have a better understanding now I’m older, of people and situations.

Tolerance?
1/2W film resistors have a tolerance.

I don’t mind different beliefs, but I do get annoyed when people bore me with them by going on and on and on… :confounded:

Generally speaking I can get on with the majority of people I come across although I have to clench my fists when I am confronted by some of the jobsworths that we all have to deal with in life.

I would say I was very tolerant, I hate rows and bad tempered people :slightly_smiling_face:

No I am not tolerant of those who pretend to know about what someone has posted and don’t actually have a clue. They feel they have to say something, usually to try and discount or disprove because of their ignorance. Often strangely enough single men are the worst in my opinion having observed over many years on different forums
