II. Sample Essay on the Social Discourse on the Virtue of Tolerance (Standard)

In life, no one dares to claim that their life has never experienced a moment of error or a misstep because we are not saints, not capable of controlling all our ambitions, along with inexperienced actions. In such times, surely everyone feels embarrassed by mistakes, so there needs to be a tolerant, compassionate hand to pull them out of the mud, to give them more faith, motivation to correct mistakes, to make them understand that society will not reject them for a small mistake.

Tolerance has always been a noble virtue, a precious tradition of the Vietnamese people, reflecting the spirit of empathy, generosity, and magnanimity of each individual towards others. Tolerance is forgiveness, opening one's heart to overlook the mistakes of others when they acknowledge their wrongs and desire to correct them. There is an old saying: 'You don't hit a running person,' which is very appropriate to mention here. Human psychology is inherently weak, always craving for shelter and tolerance. However, if they do not feel that from everyone around them, they will feel resentful, hating society, believing that the whole world is against them and hence committing even worse actions than before. Tolerance firstly provides the opportunity for the wrongdoer to rectify, to be allowed to start anew, then it gives each of us a sense of joy, living with love, meaning, seeing life beautiful, and making the heart broader, more mysterious. Those who lack tolerance, forgiving mistakes of others, on the contrary, are selfish, petty, overly concerned. They fail to see the great benefits that tolerance brings to others and to themselves. They always live in conservative thinking, stubbornness, with a big ego, allowing themselves to make mistakes but expecting others to be tolerant while not accepting the correctable mistakes of others. That is a bad trait that needs to be changed because living like that, we can only live alone, unable to live together with others. As mentioned, everyone will make mistakes, big or small, in their lifetime, it's inevitable.

Tolerance may sound abstract and distant, but in reality, it appears every day in life. Think about it, during our childhood, how many times did our parents forgive our mistakes, how many times did we not listen to them, but did they ever abandon us? Parents always love, support, guide, and provide opportunities for us to correct our mistakes, to grow step by step. That is the boundless tolerance of parents towards their children, that tolerance is so great that even if children are abandoned by society, the parents' arms are always open for them to return. Or in love, for example, when you first fall in love, you often only see each other's strengths, but gradually you discover countless flaws in each other, even sometimes one of you makes a mistake, but if you truly love, you are willing to forgive, not leaving each other for trivial matters. Therefore, in love, tolerance is one of the necessary keys for a sustainable relationship. In friendships, it's the same, when playing with each other, we must be willing to accept everything about our friends, if they make mistakes, we must be tolerant to help them stand up after stumbling, not criticize, or turn away, that's betrayal, that's selfishness.

Tolerance is also shown in how we perceive events happening in life, living with tolerance means to perceive events objectively, fairly, using intelligence rather than personal emotions to judge. There's no need to overreact to negative news because what we see may not be the truth, we should have a two-way view, think broadly to feel peaceful. Furthermore, tolerance is also shown in our daily behavior, tolerance means not arbitrarily judging a person or an event, we must put ourselves in their shoes to empathize, to understand the difficulties, remorse when they make mistakes, thereby having a positive and generous perspective.
