What is the greatest virtue?
Whether or not tolerance is the greatest virtue, it is certainly the hardest to attain. For example, it means giving up the certainty that one’s religion is the only religion to be respected, or that one’s ethnic group is in some way better than another. It means some must accept the right of others to support abortion, while others must accept the right of some to peacefully oppose abortion. It does not mean allowing others to commit crimes that are and should be condemned and outlawed by society generally.
