This axiomatic principle expressed by the Master Francisco Xavier, possesses an immeasurable wisdom and an indisputable truth in two of the most outstanding and fine virtues of a human being, that whoever manages to take them into practice together with another virtue such as serenity, will achieve the success in everything he sets out to do in any aspect of life and will earn the respect, consideration, admiration and appreciation of those who know him.

Why can not we detect in time when we lose self-control and get angry?

Generally every time we see someone angry and even aggressive, we notice in them an impotence and an imbalance, while we fail to detect in us when we lose serenity and act in an irrational way. This is fundamentally because when we get out of our boxes, as popularly said, we lose the ability to reason and do not see in ourselves the momentary mental imbalance in which we fall intolerant and do not think with balance the consequences that these irrational acts of mental or physical violence, which translate into physical or mental illness. When we see another person in the same circumstance, we feel sorry for others, that we do not feel when we lose our temper for any reason

When we tolerate an injustice or a betrayal (which is when that action is most evident), it seems that we are masochists or accomplices of those who betray us, but more than that the tolerant is not aware of the evil received, but acts in a sense very contrary to the aggressor and does not flinch, nor is it taken for offense, demonstrating a high degree of consciousness and spiritual power that many people do not value.

What does it mean to be tolerant?

To be tolerant implies love for their fellow men and against evil, although sometimes it reprimands harshly the injustices and the evil that is committed by hatred and malice, but above all by ignorance. Being tolerant is not easy, because this involves a large number of moral and spiritual conditions that are only proper to very advanced spirits and a high degree of progress, which is not very common among us. For example, in the face of infidelity many people cut off the existence of their partner, considering that only in this way they recover their honor or their mental tranquility and what they achieve is to complicate their situation more by ending up usually in a prison or killed for revenge. if instead of having done that, you would simply have separated from your partner and start a new life and probably by spending time can achieve true happiness next to another couple, perhaps we will make you happier than the previous couple.

But the other extreme that is no longer tolerance, but consent is to continue living with the same adulterous couple as if nothing had happened, so the life that awaits you is not at all pleasant; because there is no reasoning but aberration. We must control our aggressive instincts and not be obfuscated by anything and be tolerant, but not consenting to those who offend us, betray us or commit an injustice, although we rarely have to respond when it comes to defending our physical integrity or our loved ones.
Can prudence be considered as a demonstration of cowardice?
Prudence is intelligence, audacity, courage and a high degree of moral responsibility. Many times prudence is confused with cowardice, because the imprudent always acts without measuring consequences, or warning of dangers, which not only affect their integrity but also endanger the life and health of those who accompany or share with him. objective or purpose that they intended to obtain. The imprudent little feeds the danger and believes himself to be courageous of all, when he is really a clumsy man who lets himself be carried more by passion than by reason; whereas the prudent one takes into account all the dangers and possible accidents that may occur and will always take all the necessary precautions to guarantee both his safety and the safety of those around him; since it always acts with serenity and guided by reason.

The person who is prudent has an incalculable value as such, because he will never do something without thinking about the minimum details, because his great sense of responsibility will lead him to prevent everything he considers dangerous, because every step he takes and every decision he takes will be well founded by the knowledge and reflections that his conscience dictates before acting. On the other hand, the reckless is carried away by the outbursts and despair, which will not allow them to think clearly and make mistakes that will endanger their physical and moral integrity, by not stopping to think for a moment. What will happen if I do this or do that? . While the prudent does not allow himself to be dragged by the first thing he observes and will always look for other options that offer him better opportunities to succeed.

Let's be tolerant respecting the opinions of others, even if we do not share them and be wise even in speaking!
