Tolerance, I want to suggest, works in same way. Like courage, it comes with our humanity, with the life we lead according to our kind. Like the courageous, the truly tolerant act with negative velleity toward the circumstances they find themselves in, toward the goods they must sacrifice and the losses they must suffer as they endure the objectionable differences of another. And like the courageous (but unlike the tolerantly self-restraining), their negative velleity is not a source of resentment. They know that differences in life, judgment, and love create regular opportunities to make use of their virtue, and they recognize the intrinsic goodness of its act. When they offer acts of patient endurance that are right and due, they not only intend to secure the ends external to their act—social peace in the society they share with the tolerated and autonomy across their differences—but they also hope to reproduce their virtue’s goodness, to make it actual.
