No. It doesnt. That is why I started this thread.
I wish it did. My ego gets in the way.
Tolerance of different people and views is needed these days especially.
How do we have strong views and be tolerant at the same time?
I fear as I get older my crusty old persective will just become more crusty. 😁
As I,ve gotten older I really enjoy listening to all sorts of people with a different perspective. I love it when someone says something that blows me away; it means I really have to think more deeply about things. People who "know" everything can be a right pain, we seem to think its a bad thing to say, "Look, I just don't know". Opinions are fine. But,if we start bashing people with them then perhaps we hold them too tightly.

Everyone has different views. Its ok to have different views cos we are not clones. Well, most of us arent. (Ivf babies maybe)

Where zero tolerance is called for is stuff like abuse that comes with alcohol, bullying, and other rude behaviours that are harmful and destructive.

People shouldnt call it tolerance for different peolle just call it respect or freedom to express oneself. How would you say everyone is the same anyway? Even twins are not the same. I have brothers that are twins and surprise. They actually have their differences.
