kindness? tolerance?
Spiced Sass offers a quote of the day which is also food for thought for the day:
"In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die." (Dorothy L. Sayers, British writer, 1893-1957)I guess it's accurate to say that tolerance is a two-edged sword. Perhaps one needs to know what one believes in and radiate one's tolerance, spoke-like, off of that? How does one distinguish between being tolerant and being kind? At what point does being tolerant slip into being permissive? Many interesting thoughts and questions arise. What do you think?
