Should we be tolerant?

Should we as individuals or as a society be tolerant?
Why is tolerance pushed as such a virtue?
Do we even understand what this word tolerance means?
People build a tolerance to illegal and legal drugs that are harmful to them.
Heroin addicts build a tolerance that slowly kills them.
People can build a tolerance to a variety of vices and substances that harm them and eventually kill them.
We can build a psychological tolerance to violence, sexuality, immorality and various ideals and behaviors that would otherwise be shocking.
Just because we can build a psychological and physical tolerance to various things does not mean we should.
If something harms you, your loved ones or anything you value then you should not tolerate it.
You should stop all people and things that harm the ideals, things and people you love.
If someone wishes to harm your nation and culture then do not tolerate them.
If there is a ideology that sets out to destroy an ideal you hold sacred then do not tolerate it.
Tolerance is for the subverted and weak.
James Kennedy said " tolerance and apathy are the symptoms of a dying society"
