16 November 2012: Whining on the International Day for Tolerance

by jcyf94

Tolerating intolerance is, and always has been a dilemma itself, theoretically and realistically.

How far does moral relativism in the name of cutural diversity have to go before we reach the point of human right violation, however insignificant?

How do you counter the blatant act of hypocricy where tolerance is openly taught but intolerance is sub…tly encouraged to ther point where brutality against targeted individuals becomes generally tolerated.

Realistically, intolerance has always been the weapon of people with means and power to demostatrate their might and wield their control over the masses, through fear, coercion and deception, in the name of justice and equality.

I am an intolerant person when it comes to tyranny of the “majority”, as hijacking the silence of true majority is truly the source of intolerance.

As U.N. is becoming a lame duck to what is about to come, even though I cannot defend my own life and well-being, there are basic principles the perversion of which I absolutely cannot tolerate.

It is always painful when electrocuted. It is always frightening when disoriented. It is always invigorating when persecuted. It is always traumatizing when attacked.

I tolerate them because I have no choice. I tolerate them with my life and sanity on the line because there is hope that one day there will be a choice.
