Intolerance has been on my mind lately.
Violent intolerance of the religious kind; the intolerance a friend
experienced at a restaurant because of who he loves; intolerance of
red or blue; intolerance of black or white. If there is one thing I
can't tolerate, it's intolerance (and lactose)!
Not that its antonym, tolerance, is a
very lofty ideal. Simply being tolerant of others and their views is
better than seeking to annihilate them, but surely we can do better.
Tolerate one another, as I have
tolerated you?
How uninspiring.
