Tolerance & realization are two different but connected concepts that affect every individual on this earth. Tolerance is a religious concept based upon the universal moral value. In the universal moral sense, 'tolerance' means accepting other people religions and beliefs, including their customs, practices, and lifestyle, in order to live in peace and harmony with all the people of the world. At the same time, tolerance also requires accepting others, respecting other people's rights, and freedom to act, think, and choose as they see fit. Tolerance & realization are two opposite principles, yet in practice they often appear as one.

In order for tolerance to be effective & beneficial it needs to be expressed and practiced by people from different cultures, religious groups, ethnic backgrounds, and even nations. A nation that was once divided into several ethnic groups is now a country with a majority of one ethnic group. Each nation strives to maintain its own cultural identity and cultural norms in order to maintain social order and harmony within its society. Each nation also wants to keep the economic advantages it has gained during the past so that people who live in other nations can also enjoy the fruits of their economic prosperity. In other words, tolerance & realization are two sides of the same coin; each side needs the other in order for them to be able to continue to thrive and succeed in their respective fields of life.

Tolerance & realization are both necessary for the promotion of human rights throughout the world. Without these two very important elements, life in the world would become extremely intolerant and unenlightened. People in majority cultures and religions, while being loyal to their own traditions and beliefs, tend to severely criticize the lifestyles of the people in other cultures and religions that they do not agree with. In some cases, intolerance also leads to violence. Therefore, tolerance & realization are not only needed by individuals within countries, but also the entire globe.

Sadly, tolerance & realization seldom exist at all. In fact, intolerance runs rampant throughout the world because people simply do not realize that they are wrong. If a person in the minority culture tells another person or group of people that they are wrong, the first group will then tell everyone else in the world that they are right. The only way that this will stop is if that individual or group of people decides to tell the world that they are wrong and that their beliefs are false. This only causes more people to disagree and further increase the level of intolerance in the world as a whole. In the end, tolerance & realization are dead.

The sad thing about this is that most people don't even recognize that they are doing something wrong. They simply look on the matter as an intractable conflict between right and wrong, or between black and white. There are many examples of people doing this in their own societies. For example, many countries have separated when their political systems couldn't get along. In many cases, people from one country to take refuge in another country in order to protect their rights. It's a shame that people do not realize that they are doing something wrong when there are conflicts all over the world.

Tolerance & realization cannot only be found in terms of religion. There are many groups of people in the world that live by religious principles; and yet, they still tolerate each other and live happily ever after. In other instances, tolerance can be found among differing religions, such as the world's major religions. All these groups accept each other and try to live side by side in peace.

Tolerance & realization can also be found in the workplace. Many companies have a policy of not discriminating against employees based on their sexual orientation. Even in conservative states, there are religiously friendly co-workers who deserve to be respected and allowed to work for any company.

Tolerance & realization are two things that are difficult to find in today's world. Tolerance means accepting others the way they are, with no need to alter your opinion to suit theirs. This is easy to do, and yet, very few people do it. Meanwhile, realization means accepting and loving your differences, and treating people with kindness and compassion no matter what they are. Sadly, this is not always easy to do, but it is a vital step in improving yourself and creating a better world for everyone.
