In order to free us from the obligation to endure certain differences and remain in certain dysfunctional relationships, these critics reject this world. They deny its unavoidable reality; they disregard the goodness embedded in its difficulties. They yearn for a world where pluralism was less perplexing and where tolerance was unnecessary. Some long for a world to come, some starry future where difference will not threaten nor disagreement divide, and where equal standing and shared first principles will generate mutual respect, acceptance, and appreciation. In this future, there will be no problems of association that might require toleration as a solution.
