CR 23. Tolerance and Judgment

You cannot tolerate good things. Tolerance requires disapproval. Far from being non-judgmental, tolerance presupposes two judgments: the judgment about whether a behavior is wrong, and then the judgment about how seriously wrong it is. Things that are moderately wrong may be ignored or merely spoken against, both of which are tolerant. Things which are seriously wrong must be opposed through law and force, which is intolerant. Slavery, murder, and sexual assault demand intolerance. Things which are less bad should be tolerated, which means criticized verbally or in writing.

    This cleared my confusion up quite a bit on what tolerance really is. Andrew had touched on the subject in one of his previous shows, and this lesson complimented it.
