Let us not speak of tolerance.
This negative word implies grudging concessions by smug consciences.
Rather, let us speak of mutual understanding and mutual respect.

Alas, poor Father Pire is dead not deaf so there is little point in shouting.

Are we speaking of "infinite" in a religious sense or were you actually building a logical construct that would allow us to envision "tolerance" as a commodity that can still have meaning when considered in really really big amounts?

If I may make another point (still within the realm of the finite), my dictionary defines aphorism as a "short pithy statement or maxim." Perhaps you need something more expansive to deal with really, really big things like infinity. But then again, perhaps not. You make no mention of your tolerance density, so it seems to me that allowing for infinite tolerance density might allow for a manageable (finite) volume of tolerance suitable for aphoristic handling. It would all depend on a derivative function the shape of which lies outside of my personal expertise.

There was no shouting.

Hold your artillery horses. I don't know what "we" are speaking/talking about. In my aphorism I have provided a teensy-teeny-tiny bit of double-edge humor. Forget it.

 

[liquorish]

Forget it.

My sense of humour's very thin.
Monomolecular, in fact.
For infinite-inspired grin,
"What cardinality?" I'd ask.

This pair of anonymous virgins is so transparent. It repeats itself like a simple robot. It's soooo educated and knowledgeable ) -- ha-ha) except that it has serious problems with comprehension. This pair resides in my kill (ignore) file under its old nicknames. Now, if it continues its dumb noise for one more post it'll get ignored under the present nicknames too. They're all the same anyway, yawn.

Apparently I have overestimated your intellect. And your "teensy-teeny-tiny" sense of humour.

Pardon.

I was especially waiting for the second nickname to show up after the first one. Now, efficiently, both are in the kill file (conveniently "ignored", together with the other, older pair). A bit of patience was good, it has worked well .
