Tolerance Boon or Bane

A person asked me “”What is tolerance?””
I was silent like a piece of rock.
He continued to ask me the same question again and again.
I continued to be silent.
He lost his temper and assaulted me.
I continued to be calm and unprovoked.
He again asked me the same question “What is tolerance?
I then replied “I was calm even after you even physically assaulted and verbally abused me.””
Tolerance is a blessing and virtue by which we remain calm even in a storm unaffected emotionally by the external environment
