You don’t choose these people and in the not choosing you learn tolerance. You learn to forgive.

About This Quote

When talking about people who cause problems, such as someone who is constantly fighting with or complaining to others, we often seek to find a solution. We think that if we could just get rid of the person, then everything would be perfect. Instead, we should try and understand people and learn to tolerate their differences. When we do this, we learn tolerance and the ability to forgive someone for what they do.
