Abstract

The meaning of the word « tolerance » has two possible dimensions. The first is a positive connotation mainly imposed by the social and political discourse: attention and respect for other. The second is a rather negative connotation: if I can be tolerant it is because I am superior to other. Thus, tolerance becomes forgiveness. What is even more disturbing is that discordance and confusion may appear in the individual's way of judging reality: deeply and intimately intolerant, the individual may display lying tolerance so as to seem to obey the conventions of modern society.

Keywords —

tolerance · superiority · forgiveness · conventional plan · intimate plan
