Not all are the same. Must appreciate and tolerate the differences. Shdnt always insist yours is the best

Tolerance isn't good enough. Empathy, a higher standard than tolerance, is much preferable. Empathy asks that we put ourselves in another's place and walk a mile in their shoes to see the world through their eyes.

Alas, that's a big ask for us. By our forum's standard, toleration is good enough. To be precise, tolerating each other's differences means refusing to label any viewpoint as 'right' or 'wrong,' especially when it comes to someone's sacredly-held beliefs. Not incidentally, religious toleration doesn't mean equal validity of truth. The truth allows of only one interpretation.
