Helen Keller said that "Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle."
Lately, I have been in disagreement with the decisions some of my friends have made.
While I view them as poor choices, I struggle with the decision to voice my opinion or remain silent. Am I a good friend if I keep my mouth shut and allow someone to make a decision that will ultimately land them in a bad place financially? Am I a good friend if I voice my concern over the decision that is about to be made?
I've had a difficult time identifying the line between my obligation as a friend and toleration. Let's just say that I'm much better at riding a bike.
