Today is International Day for Tolerance. Tolerance is a strength, a capacity to understand and accept others, which is especially crucial in today's challenging world.

Whether it's geopolitical conflicts, cultural differences, or global environmental crises, the world is facing unprecedented turbulence and division. Against this backdrop, tolerance becomes a key force that allows us to build bridges, resolve conflicts, and seek consensus among each other.

For those striving to promote peace and understanding in complex international affairs, tolerance is an indispensable attitude. And for each of us, tolerance is equally important. To have a heart of tolerance means being willing to understand voices different from our own, acknowledging our differences while respecting them. Whether at home, in the community, or in the workplace, tolerance helps us build better connections with others, reducing misunderstandings and opposition.

Cultivating the virtue of tolerance means constantly reminding ourselves to treat others with kindness and compassion. Even when faced with differing opinions, choosing respect and maintaining a calm attitude. Thinking about the benefits of tolerance helps us recognize that it can not only dissolve opposition but also promote cooperation as we address the challenges faced by humanity together. To practice tolerance with love is to translate understanding and support into action for every individual and group. It means showing care for the vulnerable, embracing our differences, and taking small steps to make the world a better place.

To different readers, it's important to recognize that tolerance is not weakness but a higher level of strength—a rational choice when facing a complex world. It does not mean abandoning principles, but learning to understand, accept, and respect different voices and perspectives within our principles.

Let us use tolerance to dissolve barriers, and with love and understanding, embrace a brighter future together.

We hope this reflection resonates with you today, and I welcome you to share your thoughts and experiences on tolerance. May there be less confrontation and more warmth in the world.
