Tolerance:

Tolerance -is the capacity to endure hardship and pain...
We hear all the time..."What don't kill you makes you stronger" ...Well my best friend just lost his younger brother to a severe illness that he has been fighting with for quite some time now and i feel like what he went through i dont think anyone would have made it through it was tough just knowing that such a great guy was sick but after he got sick his spirit never changed he was still the witty, intellegent, always laughing, good spirited person i knew from back in the day...
When i saw him last it was his birthday 12/2/08 he was happy very appreciative and kind to everyone. He extended his thanks and said a few jokes...that was just the kind of person he was even though he struggled to speak because of the oxygen tank he lugged around he still seemed independent... He still had depth in his conversation about the economy, the new president and life in general... with a slight comedic twist he captivated many hearts just being himself...
that's the tragic beauty of life most of us none sick good health humans have not clue what tolerance is... Tolerance is the capacity to endure hardship and pain... Ooooh those words mean so much more when you know why...
