Alcohol, parenting, multiculturalism, work ethic, pain. You name it, some how tolerance can be integrated into it. Do you guys think dealing with an issue or condition is facilitated or made more difficult by introducing tolerance. Remember, tolerance implies neutrality and objectivity and respect for existence. Embracing an idea or force though requires us to search for either a personal connection, or validity by which said force is symbiotic with a desire or absolute truth.

What a great question....... and thanks a lot for the insightful details!!!
Every word you say is true!!
Tolerance amounts to virtually distancing oneself........ just the first step by which bias through subjectivity can be controlled to an extent. A much greater distance needs to be covered before acceptance can happen..... the first step of tolerance is no guarantee nor even a necessary beginning for acceptance to emerge eventually.
Acceptance is a process by which a proper alignment needs to be created between the subject and the object....... the object can not change..... we need to bend our own self to bring about an acceptance..... which is a deliberate internal action compared to tolerance which is akin to an internal inaction. This inaction could be the first step to reduce the impact of first reaction, but finally proactive action is necessary to bring about an acceptance.
Ego is the greatest hurdle in acceptance and tolerance does numb the ego for a while. To that extent tolerance can help as a starting point. Eventually the ego has to be either satisfied or bent before acceptance can result.
Once acceptance has come about, what follows is not tolerance, it is harmony and feeling of well being.

Patience is a virtue, that is tolerance. We must all tolerate things at some points, but the development of patience in your lifetime takes time. There are some people easy going and born with it, but most of us are not. The same thing applies to pain and fear, in any form. What is needed is the reasoning powers that develop with patience and then we learn to tolerate without it eating us up inside, because we are only tolerating and holding back from going into a rage. It takes an enormous amount of strength sometimes to hold back , reason out the problems, weigh the pros and cons and then realize we must tolerate the mistakes we make and the ones that other do as well.

Toleration is deference of judgment. You 'put up' with another perspective. It does not imply all that you say.
Acceptance and toleration come apart, though they are not exclusive. You're only considering the intersection, in which case the question is moot.

Tolerence makes acceptance much easier. One can tolerate without accepting, but it're really hard to accept without tolerating.

I don't think tolerance can be called acceptance. under some adverse circumstances one has to tolerate certain unlikeable things like swallowing a bitter pill. It is done in order to cure a disease. but it is not acceptance of bitterness as nice taste

no... if u are tolerating the things you cant accept the same... the acceptance requires total surrender..
so if uneedt o accept you must know how to surrender means how to be feminine

for me tolerance is reluctance/resistance to move to acceptance...and acceptance is a state of neutrality and detachment
