have you found that you are more or less tolerant as you get older? why do you think that is?

Tolerant....more. Picky....much more. I seem to find annoying things and behaviors alot more as I have gotten older. But....I tend to step back and think what has made this person the way they are. And be more accepting of whatever it is that annoys me. I've come to realize that my way of thinking, apparently isn't the only way. I think it has just come with more exposure to differences AND an understanding that I have many flaws as well and that doesn't make me "less than".

Have you ever taken a friendship to the next level, then been able to recover the friendship because you probably should have just been friends all along?
