tolerant

This term carries a strong connotation of patience and moral endurance. It suggests a conscious decision to overlook flaws or differences rather than a lack of opinion. It is frequently used in social and political contexts to describe a society that protects minority rights or a person who avoids conflict despite personal disagreement. While it is generally positive, it can occasionally imply a passive acceptance of something harmful if the context suggests that the tolerance has become enabling. It differs from being indifferent because the tolerant person still recognizes the difference but chooses to accept it anyway.
