Tolerance and Intolerance

[YO-ELEVEN-11]

YO-11-11,
I appreciate and can see how you take #5 and #8 as tolerance (not intolerance) because they are not in relation to another person... Am I right?

What I do not see is: Why are #1 and #3 different?

That's easy

# 1
A parent gives orders.
Tolerant. Until it harms the child.
ie: Knowing a child does not like a veggie is not intolerant. It is "Love" that makes it happen.


# 3
A chef takes orders.
Intolerant, beacuse adults order what they want.
ie. "Some" Adults are full aware what they order on a menu. They order what they like. Enough said........

I believe I see. On #3 I was thinking more of a cook who over-salted the meat, left too much fat, over-cooked it, or dished a disproportionate amount of vegetables, for example... some quality not expressly stated in the order but by which a cook is often judged. I agree with you though that a cook who expressly disobeys an order is intolerant of something in someone.

In a sense though, in #1 I would suggest that the parent is intolerant of a desire in their kids, and is a servant taking orders. A child makes demands from day one after birth, and parents do willingly and necessarily serve those orders. Otherwise I was a fool doing all those night-time bottle feedings with the associated red-eye afternoons from the broken sleep... and for later allowing family democratic votes for what dinner would be.

I agree with you that placing details of the order reveals a tolerance or intolerance because a request or order is transferred and someone or something is accepted or rejected. Would you agree then within your definition that Jesus Christ was sometimes intolerant since he was a selective servant, accepting orders (requests) from some and rejecting others?

True, a child will demand. IMHO, the parent is not a servant, but is more like police person. "To serve and protect".

No, I do not feel he was Intolerant. In short, what they asked Jesus for may have not been on the menu that day.
