Tolerance is the friendly appreciation of the qualities , opinions and behavior of others , which are foreign to our habits , beliefs , tastes . Being tolerant does not mean being indifferent to the actions and feelings of others : understanding and personal involvement are also necessary . BENEVOLENCE Benevolence is not a generic love for the other not an attempt to love the other , but it is seeing the good in everything . Benevolence is exposed to others like a ower in a storm : the storm passes , the scent of the ower remains .
