Humans can withstand many adversities such as: physical pain, climate change, wars, hunger, famine and even losses. However, many have a hard time developing emotional tolerance.

There are several reasons for this flaw that descend from internal and external contributions, such as:

Arrogance-not being apologetic for wrongs done.
Selfishness-being self-entitled.
Nature vs nurture-one's upbringing and never having to know problems. Many rich kids fall here. Being associated with heartless people who are jealous of others, many poor kids fall here.
Improper education-where one goes to school matters a lot.
Bad parenting-parents may yet raise their children to be intolerant to others.
Trauma-past issues may make a good deal of fail to see why they need to tolerate those around them and beyond.

At the end of the day, emotional tolerance is a huge human struggle of which a lack, is bound to make the world face more invasions, wars, political affliction, losses and more inhuman treatment.

We must all try to build tolerance for each other. At least start by apologizing for the wrongs that you made.
