I consider myself pretty tolerant, and ignore most of the fools; if someone I have to keep coming in contact with is foolish much of the time, I do try to ease away. I am less tolerant of small-minded and petty people though.Birdsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341638516293843227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22475853.post-43561013464798657352007-03-02T08:48:00.000-08:002007-03-02T08:48:00.000-08:00I don't mind an entertaining fool for a little whi...I don't mind an entertaining fool for a little while, but not for too long and not everyday. <BR/><BR/>I think the biggest thing to remember is that some people just don't get it or they use that as a barrier to their real selves.<BR/><BR/>We can all be the fool to someone else if they think differently than we do.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148292775860672247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22475853.post-57315617201393489932007-02-28T18:57:00.000-08:002007-02-28T18:57:00.000-08:00We can suffer fools silently -- as opposed to glad...We can suffer fools silently -- as opposed to gladly -- whilst inwardly raging.

When in their presence, I appear to put up with a lot and I often go back for more. <BR/><BR/>And I must admit, I have been foolish a time or two in my life - only occasionally on purpose.<BR/><BR/>I'm intolerant in private - I fuss and fume about the foolishness when there is no one to see! Because I was always told not to be rude... of course, that often made me overly polite.<BR/><BR/>I obviously have issues! :)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109245465582979526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22475853.post-30706551263181325002007-02-28T16:29:00.000-08:002007-02-28T16:29:00.000-08:00So you will have some fun with this discussion of ...So you will have some fun with this discussion of the phrase and its use: <BR/>http://www.robertfulford.com/SufferFools.html<BR/><BR/>when it comes to being fools, I think we all take turns.Cheese Mitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02708800516355534860noreply@blogger.com
