"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." Agnes Repplier
How very true. The lack of tolerance in the world, I believe, stems from the basic lack of tolerance for our own imperfections. The happiness and joy and peace we can find in the world is in direct proportion to the happiness, joy and peace we can find in ourselves. That is what I think Shakespeare meant when he said, " To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." Healthy love of self is the basis for our tolerance of others and for our own peace and well being. What do you love most about who you are?
