Tolerance and spirituality are not the same thing

[Ming the Merciful]

Tolerance without love is not Spirituality. When we gain tolerance, it should be given equally to everybody we meet daily in our lives. Without question or prerequisites. No preconceptions of how we observe one person from another. Did not Jesus say, love your enemies? If a person lives a tolerant life, he has no enemies, only friends. Every person is a friend. Somebody maybe only an acquaintance, yet, he must also be respected. Without respect, there is no tolerance. Respect comes before tolerance. Love comes before respect. Even if somebody has an opposite and opposing view to you, you must first show love for that person, then respect and tolerance follows.
