Why do we apply tolerance only vis-a-vis foreigners or political beliefs?

Tolerance is a requirement of everyday cohabitation and collaboration.
We will only get along respectfully if we let the other take their time before we force ourselves to the cupboard to get what we want.
We have to let the other finish speaking if we want to have meaningful conversation.

You can call it Patience.

In the Paṭhamaakkhanti Sutta, the Buddha expounds the five drawbacks of intolerance, and the benefits of being tolerant.

So @ kay posted a public message asking for ppl to send in songs about celebrating or accepting people who are different.
So I replied with a couple of youtube links.

...and then she blocked me before I had change to add the names to them, what a deeply unpleasant, intolerant and self righteous person she is. Reminds me of some of the teachers in my comprehensive school, all preachy but no compassion.
