tolerance

1. Your ability to stand something. The more you consume drugs or medicine, the higher your tolerance becomes, and the more you need to consume to feel the same effect.

2. A self-destructive concept that cannot work on a global scale. Tolerance as a concept was created during the Age of Enlightenment, thanks to multiple factors in Europe, namely secularization, Christianity (admittedly the church didn't help willingly, but the fundamental ideology helped) and the many quarrels of intellectuals at the time. Unfortunately, these factors did not touch the rest of the world in equal scale, which means tolerance is not equally valued everywhere else. By tolerating the intolerant, tolerance is destroyed, hence becoming self-destructive.

3. How easily you stand other people. Tolerance itself here might not be as much a trait as it is reliant on the other person's personality (or lack thereof).
Person A: My religion states that women and infidels have no rights. Tolerance is not a value we are concerned with.
Person B: Tolerance is a value to us, so I tolerate your intolerance. Maybe forcing you to be tolerant is intolerant of us?
Person C: Don't be retarded.
