That's and important factor in the TCK mindset and one I had not considered before. By definition most TCKs see certain issues from two opposing points of view - the common view in their passport country and the common view in their host country. If they lean too heavily to one side or the other they will incur ridicule or wrath from the other. Some choose to strongly identify with one side, but most get that wonderful open mindset.

I know that I can't tolerate those lack tolerance and I won't tolerate for it. Their intolerance is causing global suffering and pain. And suffering and pain should not be tolerated. It's inhumane. @michael. I know that I can’t tolerate those lack tolerance and I won’t tolerate for it. Their intolerance is causing global suffering and pain.

You say that others lack tolerance and yet, you can't tolerate those who lack tolerance. No matter how much you complain, it's how the world operates, and it's been that way for as long as there were humans. Even if it was not for money, I'm sure we would have come up with something to be greedy over. I sense a little contradiction in your writing.
