Tolerance has come up on the HP list recently. Here’s what I believe. That our great world could have avoided a great deal of its conflict with a little bit more tolerance. That Tolerance does not mean abandoning one’s beliefs but rather just means softening one’s approach. That we who walk this sometimes difficult path of attachment parenting, alternative parenting and natural living, who have been on the receiving end of so much judgement and criticism…..that we should have more tolerance for those who choose to do differently than we do.
The topic that started this thread was breastfeeding, though it can be translated to any issue such as csections, circumcision, vaccinations. Believing strongly in issues and having passion for them is definately something I know something about, as many do who might be reading here, but tolerance and respect (don’t they go hand in hand?) to me is non negotiable.
