Acceptance is the Answer

In conversation with a friend about someone she has a problem with, and her concern that we don't both agree he is a jerk. Given my background I see people as good AND bad, we all have our problems. Although sometimes its been a close call about whether or not the bad outweighs the good, so far everyone has passed muster. Part of my acceptance in others is based on acceptance of me. I am certainly flawed, and recognizing that, how can I be critical of people just because their of their flaws? Tolerance allows us to co-exist, if not in peace, and least not with guns pointed at each other.
