Tolerance is an internal (and infernal) paradox. "Tolerance is only required in the case of dislike, disagreement, disapproval, and thus is closely connected to differences between people.” (Vogt, 1997)

To tolerate is to place oneself in a superior position from which to dispense pity, or else it is to harbour complaisance. Do you tolerate race? Then, perhaps, you think your race is superior.  Do you tolerate skin tone?  Then, perhaps, you think your hue is superior.  Do you suffer fools reluctantly or willingly?  Then maybe you think you are the only sage.  Do you tolerate the lost sinnerman?  Then maybe you are the first-born saint
