Tolerance doesn't involve smoothing over all the differences, it means seeing the differences, and allowing them to be there without making any damming judgements. Tolerance actually means having real confidence.Divergence of view is possible without there having to be hostility. If you have confidence in your own path, you don't have to denigrate other paths. You don't have to shore yourself up by dismissing other systems – that is simply not necessary.
So let us by all means disagree with certain views. But let that not make us angry or violent! Let us also have the good grace to acknowledge the benefit there may be in systems that employ different concepts. We could in fact approach this thing with great gentleness and humour!
