The only people who demand respect are the people who can't earn it and are too arrogant to accept that what they do is not respect-worthy. No-one who demands respect ever receives it; what they receive is fake and put-on. An ego-stroking.
And an ego-stroking literally means a self-stroking. You can make your own masturbation joke about that.
Tolerance is another matter entirely. You talk about how there is a line of indifference between respect and disrespect; surely that line could equally be thought of as a line of tolerance? You should tolerate anyone who isn't hurting anyone else. While forcing tolerance isn't any more productive in terms of making people tolerant than forcing respect is at creating actual respect, it is understandable and moral.
It's too late to edit, so I'll continue here. I think what you are filled with is a sense of healthy scepticism. It's a good thing, so long as it doesn't leave you cold and hateful. You take a sense of scepticism further than I do, but I'm not going to say you're definitely wrong.
hm. so waht you're saying is you agree with the respect part but not with tolerance? If so I can see where you're coming from. I do agree, I might've wrote this too quickly...tolerance's "line of indifference" could be the area of tolerance where you tolerate other people in a way that you wouldn't do anything wrong to them or deprive them of their rights on purpose. That's what I mean anyway.
Is it normal that I hate forced tolerance, respect, etc.?
