The paradox of tolerance And paradox of acceptance

There are two paradox here.

The paradox of tolerance

And the paradox of acceptance. This I don't have a hard answer for.

While they both sound like the same problem, they are 2 halves of a larger problem.

What I really resonated with is the point about following and trying to fit in. There will be a point in any artist's life where they cater to a specific label. I wouldn't say that is a bad thing, but we must be critical in those moments and ask ourselves if this label is really in it for our best interests or just making a bag.

Be vocal in your circle. Keep a close nit of friends who you feel safe opening up to about others and to help evaluate any potential collaborators
