I Think I Am A Very Tolerant Person

Does anyone even know what this word means anymore? It doesn't seem like it. Because I get called racist and homophobic and islamophobic and misogynist and pretty much whatever it is that you currently call someone when you want to shame them into agreeing with you out of fear of the label.

But none of those things are true. I have a set of principles. And I apply those principles equally to everyone. And if you don't do anything that violates those principles then I don't give a crap what you do. Of course that's why I generally find myself alone in pretty much any argument and under attack by all sides.

I've been called arrogant and condescending as well because people seem to be under the impression I think I'm better and smarter than everyone else because I think differently. But the sad fact it being the lone voice of my position doesn't make me smart, it makes me irrelevant.

Tolerance is shit tbh, it's kinda haughty by definition. "I [i] allow[/i] "..." to freely "..." without fear of "..." because I am so tolerant" isn't really the same thing as respect nor is remotely close to acceptance. If your attitude is tolerance then you're always going to get into it with people nowadays.

And what if you aren't all of those things people are saying? And what if you are? Does it matter? Depending on who you ask lits of those are positive traits even if they deny the word itself they hold the core values of it's meaning. I don't know exactly what you're referring to but perhaps you should try owning you phobias you have the right. Besides it's just names at the end of the day. So whatever

I can relate, at times.

According to some I am a sad individual who is never happy.
They judge this by my poetry,
which is dark many times,but geesh people do you think all people are one dimensional creatures capable of only one emotion at a time and can only entertain one way of thinking?
