9781	Tolerance and love are strategies to avoid encountering our neighbours [Zizek]
	Full Idea: All this preaching about tolerance, love for one's neighbour and so on, are ultimately strategies to avoid encountering the neighbour.
	From: Slavoj Zizek (Conversations, with Glyn Daly [2004], §2)
	A reaction: I have begun to wonder whether some such motivation underlies the modern obsession with raising huge sums for charity.
