什么是宽容？宽容就是一种理解、体谅、尊重他人的修养，它让人与人之间变得和谐友好;宽容是一种力量，它使人产生强大的凝聚力和感染力，将人们团结在一起;宽容也是一种豁达的、健康的人生态度，更是一种震憾心灵的美德，它能征服人心，获得他人的敬重和爱戴。

法国作家维克多·雨果曾说：“世界上最宽阔的是海洋，比海洋更宽阔的是天空，比天空更宽阔的是人的胸怀。”他不就告诉我们人要有博大的胸怀吗？宽容，是一束冬日里的阳光，将误解融化，化干戈为玉帛;宽容，是一座黑夜中的灯塔，使迷途者找到方向;宽容也是你踩在脚下的紫罗兰，你一脚踩扁了它，可香气却留在了你的脚上。宽容是相互的，你宽容别人，别人也就会体谅并宽容你，这样社会才会变得更加和谐！

忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空。放眼于现在，构建社会主义和谐社会，更需要宽容。宽容是和谐社会的法宝，是和谐社会的必然要求，是人与人之间理解的纽带，国与国之间沟通的桥梁。在这充满竞争的时代，只要人人都懂得宽容，人生就会海阔天空，社会就会多一份关爱和温暖，多一份安宁，这样人们的生活也将更加美好、和谐！

宽容之心，开心之本。宽容可以将仇恨化为友情，将障碍化为动力。人想要活得开心，就必须学会宽容。宽容就像一剂良药，减少情绪的困扰，使人活得更加轻松、更加有意义。拥有宽容，能使你拥有别人所不能拥有的东西。俗话说：“宰相肚里能撑船。”我们以一颗宽容的心对待周围的人和事，以宽厚仁爱之心待人，这样我们自己也会获得别人的信任，爱戴和尊重。一个微笑，一句肺腑之言，一双善解人意的眼神足以让我们得到真、善、美。宽容者，人爱之敬之。何乐而不为？

所以让我们从心里接纳别人，理解别人的处事方法，尊重别人的处事原则，从小事做起，从点滴做起，学会宽容，拥有一颗海纳百川的心，多一份宽容，多一份信任，多一份友爱。
