Tolerance for the Other
Even though I have tried imagining that I’d lived all my life in every country I’ve lived in, I’m starting to come to the conclusion that I never have and never will understand completely what life is like when you’ve only lived in one country. I can project and imagine, and that works well for most people, but then there’s those people who are unsettled by change and/or globalization so much that they go to extremes in one way or another, and my abilities to emphathise nearly disappear. And then there’s the odd mundane moments I can’t imagine life without: I just watched two BBC shows on PBS. An air of… Europeanness came out of my television, and I couldn’t imagine what it’d be like not recognizing that so intimately. The same thing used to happen with American shows in Europe. I can imagine not knowing many cultural norms, but I can’t imagine not knowing many cultures. So, in this my tolerance comes to an end: when people are assertively close-minded enough, they are Other to me. This puts me in the classic dilemma – should I or should I not try to emphathise? Can I call myself open-minded if I don’t? Where does the limit go? I’d say that neo-nazis are past the limit, but what I consider regular religious people are on the right side of the line. The current political situation here and elsewhere is pushing me to define the limit. I’m not sure it can be defined very well at all in the first place.
