What is tolerance?

What is the the meaning of tolerance?
According to E.M Forster, tolerance is a way of getting on in life, without having having to deal with all the things which make people angry. Tolerance does not have to be love, or hate, or destruction. I think Tolerance is just a way of getting on in your life without conflicts. Without tolerance the world will fall into chaos and destruction. Without tolerance the world will be separated, and people would never learn to work with each other. I think Forster's idea about tolerance not being love is true, you cannot love something you do not know. You also cannot love something you are trying to tolerate.
Overall i think tolerance is just another way of surviving in the world today, getting through the hardships, learning to live with others.

Well-organized, and you highlight Forster's main points. A few more specifics would bolster your paragraph.
