Learn to tolerate
I have been in Singapore for nearly half a year and learned not only knowledge but the importance of tolerance.
I still remember in the first class Ms Yap told us to assimilate the new cultures in Singapore. She wanted us to be accustomed to the new circumstance as quickly as possible. I have tried to incorporate the different ways of eating, speaking and dressing. Toleration is important for us to adjust to the new country.
A Chinese idiom said sea tolerates hundreds of rivers to make itself broad. So if we assimilate different cultures, we can broaden our horizon.
Furthermore, I have read a lot about the misunderstanding between different religions and races. In Jerusalem, Christian, Muslim and Jew-dom have to struggle for living together. There are a lot of conflicts among the three religions. In the film Schindler’s list, Nazis perpetrated cruel crime to Jews in the name of eugenics. Besides, I also learned in America prejudice still exists between whites and blacks.
Why does so much discrimination exist? Helen Keller said that the highest result of education is tolerance. So as the world becomes more and more civilized, we should learn to tolerate different religions and races. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said we must learn to live together as brothers or we are going to perish together as fools.
So next time, when you enjoy the beauty of the sea, keep in mind that we should learn from the broad sea. Be a tolerated man and try to adjust to the diverse world.
