Patience should have a bottom line, and tolerance should have limits.

Ritu77

In our lives, we often face the choice between forgiveness and tolerance. However, sometimes, in order not to be labeled as 'stingy' or 'ungenerous,' we may easily forgive others' mistakes, even against our own bottom line. Such forgiveness is actually a cheap attitude, a tolerance without principles, and it doesn't make us feel good.

Driven by the fear of being criticized as stingy, we may choose to forgive others' faults easily. However, this superficial generosity does not lead to others' enlightenment. On the contrary, the other person may mistakenly believe that you tolerate everything and cross boundaries without restraint. This kind of forgiveness does not build healthy relationships; instead, it makes people think you are weak and easy to exploit.

True generosity does not come from indifference to mistakes but is built on maintaining one's own bottom line. The bottom line is self-respect and adherence to principles. Guarding our bottom line is not only responsible to ourselves but also shows respect for others. Such generosity has a bottom line and is based on genuine principles and values.

Guarding the bottom line does not mean being cold and closed off; instead, it means understanding gratitude and treating others with courtesy while maintaining our own boundaries. In social interactions, we can show kindness, gentleness, and a positive side, but it doesn't mean we should easily forgive mistakes. Gratitude is a response to others' kindness, and treating others with courtesy is a basic attitude, but it doesn't mean we should give up our principles.

True generosity is about maintaining our principles while being tolerant of others. This generosity is not based on ignoring others' faults but on respecting our own bottom line. It is not a hasty forgiveness but is built on being responsible to others and maintaining our own dignity. So, we don't have to compromise ourselves; balancing both is the best approach!
