There are many cultural and religious differences that are delightful and enriching, and there are differences that do not really make much of a difference. But there are also more ‘deep’ differences about what is right and wrong, just and unfair, and how we should relate to one another. It is about these differences that ways of life collide and that makes that toleration is a cornerstone for maintaining good relations in pluralist, liberal democracies. Tolerance is not indifference (i.e., a ‘whatever’ reaction), apathy (i.e., a ‘who cares’ reaction), or cultural relativism with an abstention of judgment (i.e., an ‘anything goes’ approach). Rather, people tolerate what they disapprove of and wish were otherwise. Tolerance emphasizes forbearance and not interfering with how other people want to live their lives, despite one’s disapproval. It means that we refrain from acting upon our disapproval: not out of fear or threat, but because there are additional reasons (e.g., civil liberties, equal rights) for enduring the beliefs, practices, or way of life of others.
