Response to Tolerance

The essay Tolerance by E.M. Forster is an interesting essay describing the positive and negative aspects of torelance and how it is important when in times of crisis or when dealing with international problems. Forster also mentions love, and how, although it is the most powerful emotion, it not the way to solve or meet with dilemmas. He uses the example of how it makes no diffference if a man in Peru loves a man in Portugal. Love is only necessary between peole who know each other. Tolerance is putting up with something that you may really despise, because destroying it would make no difference, or make the situation even worse.
