A little about tolerance

Hi all,


Today, let's talk a little about tolerance. In the course of the past few days, a few events got me to start thinking about not only tolerance in itself, but also about our lack of tolerance towards those that we perceived as being intolerant.  It would be so easy to accept that we all are different beings with different values and that those differences make us look at a situation and not the perceive it the same way.  A simple discriminatory comment that is express publicly and there are a lot of people that will jump on the person that dared to express that commentary.  At that point, starts the labeling (racist, sexist, etc) and a lot of reproaches are landing in both public and private. That last behavior is what brought up my questioning. Even if I am completely against racism (every form of it), aren't we as intolerants as the intolerant by acting in such manner?  I still haven't found an answer, but maybe by sharing this i'll improve my chances of getting there.
