Tolerance

I just noticed that one of my LJ interests in “tolerant people”. I AM interested in tolerant people. I admire tolerance. But I am NOT a tolerant person. I am having difficulty coming up with a good definition of tolerance. The best Webster’s one for what I mean is

sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own.

The conventional wisdom is that we all ought to strive to be more tolerant. I find myself becoming more intolerant the older I get. I realize this is not such a good thing. I know my userpic is offensive, and I don’t care.
