I don’t like the idea of tolerating anyone. Tolerance, to me, feels like I have to make an effort of sorts to withstand someone else’s existence. I definitely don’t like everybody, so I don’t make friends with everyone, but I do treat all people politely, and accept and respect that they exist.
That’s not understanding the meaning of the word tolerance. It doesn’t mean making friends with everyone, is simply accepting that others who don’t share your world views and beliefs have the same right to exist that you have.
