Write a précis of the given passage:
“Tolerance is the only real test of civilisation”: it was Arthur Kelps who thus extolled the virtue of tolerance. Man in the 21st century believes he is more civilised than his ancestors. But is he more tolerant than them? Unfortunately, the virtue of tolerance is not abundant in the world of today and the world is in dire need of it. The importance of tolerance lies in its ability to make a human being broad enough in mind to be receptive to all kinds of ideas. This, in turn, enables one to widen one’s knowledge and exercise more freedom of choice and judgement for oneself. At the same time it creates a deeper understanding of others’ views and beliefs. Today, tolerance seems to be at a discount at all levels. At the most trivial sign of disagreement hot words are exchanged, almost immediately escalating into a fight and sometimes even murder. Family members find it difficult to put up with one another’s shortcomings – after all which human being is perfect? Communities, social groups, racial groups and nations – at all levels, there appears to be an acute lack of tolerance. Trivial misunderstandings, even rumours, give rise to riots with the accompanying bloodshed and permanent scars on relationships; at the national level there is civil war and border wars. So often a personal matter such as religion has been distorted to create hatred among peoples. If such people learnt to tolerate one another’s views, perhaps such sad occurrences could be reduced if not totally removed from this world.
