Isn't part of improving ourselves creating stronger emotional boundaries so that we can tolerate the unpleasant manifestations of others?

If we grow intolerant of every toxic person without looking for middle ground - the love in-between are we not feeding into the zeitgeist of divisiveness and falling victim to larger forces that seek to profit off of said separations? (a divide and conquer mentality)?
