For example, how does one "cope" with people who discriminate against those with a different skin colour?, or those of a different gender?, or those with a different sexual orientation? Is the above statement suggesting we must ignore such behaviours in order to be truly tolerant? I am a big proponent of tolerance, but I always struggle with the question "Should I tolerate intolerance?" If I don't, then I become intolerant myself, but if I do then I allow intolerance to go unchallenged encouraging hate, discrimination, and injustice. I think I have asked a question along these lines before, but I am still struggling. Any wisdom anyone can share would be greatly appreciated.
