Redefining love: 'Tolerance' merely shows apathy WashTimesOpEd
Key virtues thought to be the bedrock of our free society are no longer recognized. One of the casualties in this battle over definitions and meaning is the word “love.”
Tolerance, as it is currently practiced, is more about dominance than it is about acceptance. The leaders of the left are so “tolerant” that they dismiss, if not completely shut down, anyone who dares disagree with them. Their “tolerance” is on full display as they shamelessly tell Christians and conservative Jews that they are intolerable.
Progressive tolerance demands that we abandon our friends to whatever “moral” code is fashionable at the time. Progressive tolerance is unstable. It is constantly blown around by the winds of political fads. It has no consistent standard, and its target is always moving. Tolerance, as it is defined today, can quickly become tyranny. It squashes debate, derides dissent and silences speech.
All this Orwellian doublespeak is the antithesis of true love. Real self-giving love is not found in rioting against others who disagree or in ruining the lives of those who think differently. “My feelings matter more than your facts!” is a declaration of pride and self-importance, neither of which is a characteristic of love.
