Regardless of the promotion of them in some societies, Sympathy and Tolerance each entails condescension, and Tolerance often retains the hostility to which it is projected as a counter. Instead, according to Kant, the Rational expression of interpersonal equality is Respect. However, Respect remains a static I-I relation, if not an I-Your, e. g. when one treats another as an End. In contrast, a dynamic We is mediated by mutual Trust. Indeed, while Kant struggles to demonstrate how False Promising is conduct unbecoming a Rational being, the recognition of it as breaking Trust is not nearly as convoluted a process.
