Sometimes, being tolerated is all that can be asked for, and more than is expected. To tolerate is to accept a compromise.
Loved ones tolerate certain behaviors when they are overshadowed by many good qualities. Bosses do as well.
Employees tolerate certain working conditions, if most aspects of the job are preferable to unemployment.
We tolerate minor annoyances.
I am tolerated in many circumstances. Thanks, everyone, for that!
