In tolerance

In the large world there are those who can’t tolerate people playing cricket in their country, who can’t tolerate others celebrating Valentine’s Day, who can’t tolerate women going to pubs, who can’t tolerate intolerance and will therefore send pink chaddis, who can’t tolerate losses and will therefore distribute pink slips, who can’t tolerate being called idiots and will send legal notices, and so on.

In the smaller world, there are those who can’t tolerate getting stuck in traffic, who can’t tolerate waiting in the queue in a multiplex ticket counter, who can’t tolerate lesser intelligence in others, who can’t tolerate not getting a call back within 5 seconds of the other person missing a call, who can’t tolerate the slowness of the elevator, who can’t tolerate the tardiness of restaurant staff and so on.

The larger world tries to hide agendas behind the intolerance, individuals are dispensable. The smaller world tries to hide intolerance behind their daily agendas, the rest of the world is dispensable. Society that is failing the individual, or individuals who’re failing society?

until next time, just a rant.. be tolerant 🙂

    Good one 🙂
    If the smaller world tries to step out, then chances are that we/they (:|) end up in the larger world !

    Individuals failing as a society. Consequently, society failing the individual. Consequently – and resentfully – individual failing society.

    Now, if you will, I have an emergency to attend to. The manicure appointment was canceled 😐

    shantanu: i am not sure.. even if we agree that people fail themselves, the reasons could still involve society

    shefaly: yes, thats the obvious one.. but there’s also some frustration that happens when i realise that society is fairly unresponsive..

    rads: there was this line i read somewhere “The chicken had to get laid before the egg did” 🙂
