There was a blog post on Tolerance by Uma on desicritics. I wrote a comment that I thought brought out my viewpoint in the best possible manner. Here it is: ============== If you look seriously and honestly - this world is NOTHING more than a bunch of floating psychologies. Bodies are just buckets in which these psychologies really float.What holds people and societies together are the ideologies. Ideologies like Capitalism, Communism, Democracy, Religion, etc.Now, just as the seed of tolerance in the people is sowed through the ideologies and how strongly they are married to it, the seed of intolerance ALSO lies in the structure of the same ideologies.Unfortunately, every ideology carries a baggage. A baggage of ownership. And that curse called Faith (or loyalty, depending on what ideological framework you are dealing with). When Ownership and Faith in or towards ownership are mixed together - intolerance is a natural result. It is inescapable!
