OSHO: Tolerance Is an Ugly Word 🔊
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."

I’m not in a place where I can listen at the moment, based on your textual quote and based on what I’ve seen and where I’ve personally been in the past, I would agree.
“Toleration” smacks of condescension. A power dynamic is created where someone claiming moral superiority deigns to “tolerate” someone or something they consider damaged (at best) or inferior, or even evil (at worst).
I don’t think even at my worst I ever associated “tolerance” with individuals either - tolerance was towards the idea or concept, and individual people I either accepted or rejected. There’s 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.
Wondering how this discussion would go with a Buddhist (and Osho).🤔
I would have liked to have heard Osho have this discussion with HH Dali llama, or a Buddhist Rinpoche.
Maybe I'll share with a Rinpoche on FB and see what their response is.....
Lmfao isn't this the guy who had a cult and ended up dying while the other bitch went to prison or some shit?
Yes, he had his followers sign over all their possessions, while he paraded his fleet of 99 Rolls Royces in front of them.
They poisoned the food of restaurants in The Dalles (a town), and poisoned the water of Madras.
His followers stopped my dad on a public highway with Uzis.
Fuck this hypocrite shitbag.
Yeah, absolutely crazy. Can't see why anyone would still take anything this horrible cunt has said seriously.
perfecto
I always defined tolerance as "If you don't like the person or how they live, the most you are allowed to do about it in a civil society is ignore them."
Feels like Oregon Cult Leader Guy is describing "Acceptance".
