I mean that sounds perfect. What more would anyone want. Trying to force personal views on others is wrong and unnecessary aggressive passive-violent behaviour.
Also tolerance only exists in the state of disagreement, so if you force everyone to agree with your view then there is nothing to tolerate, because you are in agreement. The pinnacle of harmonious living is accepting people for believing and having different views and letting them express those whilst everyone is still tolerant of each other. Anything less is discriminatory and anything more is dictatorial.
- kredd 3y agoTolerance in these terms are like "I would never let my kid to be gay, but others, fine whatever". And that still comes in a range from "get thrown stones at for holding hands with another dude" to "allowed to give a goodbye kiss to your partner in public". Everyone's limits are obviously different, and one can perceive either of those as "trying to force personal views on others". Reading those norms isn't easy until you get accustomed to the locals and have bar chats with them.
