OSHO: Tolerance Is an Ugly Word š
https://v.nostr.build/gZPrY.mp4
"Tolerance is an ugly word. To tolerate means you have already humiliated the other person, you are already higher, holier, more understanding.
The people who talk about tolerance are the most intolerant people.
I never tolerate; either I accept, or I simply forget all about the person. Why should I tolerate? He has the right to be himself, I have the right to be myself: there is no need for any tolerance."

Iām not in a place where I can listen at the moment, based on your textual quote and based on what Iāve seen and where Iāve personally been in the past, I would agree.
āTolerationā smacks of condescension. A power dynamic is created where someone claiming moral superiority deigns to ātolerateā someone or something they consider damaged (at best) or inferior, or even evil (at worst).
I donāt think even at my worst I ever associated ātoleranceā with individuals either - tolerance was towards the idea or concept, and individual people I either accepted or rejected. Thereās still a lot of bias there of course.
Tolerance as a term reminds me of unconscious bias. Stating you tolerate someone means you are on some level (conscious or not) implying some superiority.
I think the goal is to grow past that and learn to accept people as individuals. Just my two sats.
