Engage

It's possible to disagree with people, hold it back, and hide behind a wall of non-communication that you build to keep them out of your space. You may call it "tolerance," but it's phony.

If you're willing to civilly engage with someone on the level of values, it's a step toward love.

"You and I can’t interact fully with each other without interacting on the level of what we believe. If our beliefs clash, let them clash: At least we’re connecting with each other on a human level . . ."

Tolerance (in the usual contemporary sense) may be a counterfeit virtue. It contributes to disconnection and carefully camouflaged disrespect. 

Notice the word "permissive" in this definition. It's true tolerance when you permit others to believe differently on some point. Of course you "permit" them. They have God-given free will. That doesn't mean you isolate yourselves by slapping a phony agreement on the issue.

Students on college campuses - and everyone - should continue the process of growing up by thinking through issues and learning to respectfully engage with others on the level of beliefs and values.
