To tolerate something, is not to love, nor hate it. In order to become tolerate, you must master the art of becoming oblivious to it. Having no opinion, just flat out ignoring it. In some ways, becoming tolerant either means accepting it- or turning your back on it.
Forester claimed that love did not work in public affairs. That it has been tried over and over again, and failed repetitively. He claimed that tolerance was dull patience, with spirit and emotions. This essay was written after WWII, and Forester has tried to bring people together by telling them that they need to become more tolerant- tolerant of not only each other, but of boring negativity.

I like the structure of your topic sentence, but "something" is a bit vague. Could you add any specifics to explain tolerance better? I'm unsure about your concluding sentence and "boring negativity." Do you mean tolerance itself?
