Building Relationships

(Please note that this article is not finished yet! )
This article is based on the first chapter of the Sefer Tomer Devorah By Rav Moshe Cordevero. It is not a translation, but rather uses the ideas he presents. we are going to use the 13 Midos (character traits) and behaviors he presents as a basis for building better relationships with anyone.
The first two traits are the character trait of Tolerance. The first thing I have to understand is that in any relationship, there are going to be things that bother me. I have to cultivate the trait of tolerance in order to get along with people. If I cannot tolerate things people do, it is going to be very challenging to get along with other people!
The third Midah is "fixing" or "correcting" people. In other words, I don't only tolerate people; I can help them correct themselves. This is particularly important when it comes to my relationship with them. I can assist them to correct behaviors towards me that bother me and thereby improve our relationship.
