Let's not try to control everyone! Be thankful everyone is different, and yes.....be more tolerant of everyones idea of what the day looks like. Of course we live in a social society and to those of not just different ages but different generations. When you put everyone in the same room sparks can fly and not because someone has the cellphone Samsung Galaxy Note 7. the Bible even says we sharpen one another. Well when you rub to object together things can get a little heated.
Proverbs 27:17 (AKJV) "Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."
