What is tolerance? Is it not saying something when you see something wrong and knowing that speaking up and stating the obvious will not help.
Or is it saying something knowing that people will react in a way that will not help the situation.
I am seeing more and more where I want to speak my mind but think of the futility of doing so. If the words hit a cultural void, what is the point? Or is not saying anything perpetuating what is going on? We all have the right to live our lives as we see fit. We do not however have the right to dictate our thoughts on to others to get them to do what we want. If we do this we revert to points in history that did not work out well.
If there is no respect between people of differences of opinions (and yes they are opinions) then the basis of society is eroded and can chaos be not far behind. I fear for my country and think that it will not last in its current state for long.
