TOLERANCE

The practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs and opinions of others.

The basics of our constitutional rights are based on tolerance. It can have positive or negative outcomes. Some of the positive outcomes are freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Freedom of religion and speech is a postive outcome because you can believe what you want, when you want and how you want to believe it without being shot or thrown in jail. Some of the negative outcomes are genoside (which is the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, religious or national group) homoside, riots and violence. These are caused by intolerance of what people believe.

Another definition would be capacity to absorb a drug continuously or in large doses without adverse effect; decrease in the response to a drug after prolonged use.

When a person has a prolonged use of a drug, any drug they pratically become immuned to its effects both physically and mentally. When a person drinks a couple of alcoholic beverages a night to put them asleep, and in a couple of years they end up drinking a fifth a day. Same with cigarettes when one person smokes one cigarette when they are young to look "cool", and five to ten years they are smoking almost two packs a day. Or with narcotics when ever you get perscribed a narcotic medicine and they take it so long they have to end up taking a higher dosage to get the same effect. Which both of those are negative outcomes because it cost them more money and does more damage to their body. The third definition would be the capacity to endure hardship or pain.

This mean when a person is working out and he lefts a weight that is to heavy and strains a muscle, it hurts but he's/she's not complaining about it or letting the pain stop him from doing what he/she normally does. Or when a person dies or someone hurts your feelings in any way it might hurt but you dont show your pain to other people you tolerate it and move on with your life.
