I think people often confuse universal compassion for universal tolerance.
And others will often evoke this misunderstanding when you tell them what they’re doing is wrong, or worse, when defending yourself from them.
They will say “but you are Buddhist/Christian/Pagan/etc! You are supposed to be tolerant. Your religion commands it!” They believe that universal compassion means submission to others. And that if you oppose them for any reason, that it is done with malice and hate in your heart.
Universal compassion is unconditional love for all living things. We love our children unconditionally, but there do come times when we must tell them “no”. We do not do this because we hate them, but because we love them. Because allowing them to continue with their bad behavior will ultimately hurt them. Hurt us. Hurt others.
To tolerate is to resign your compassion 🍃
