Compassion is the ability to see a person's ... "annoying behaviors" and recognize that this is where they are in their personal growth. You have the choice to allow this person and their behaviors in your personal space.
Tolerance is having the compassion to permit the person leeway to grow through such behaviors. It is your responsibility to set boundaries - not only for your own well-being, but for the growth of the person whose behaviors come into conflict with your Peace of Being. Otherwise, you are a part of the problem (in your life, in society, and in the person's life) instead of being a part of the solution.
