Very apt and timely lines that spoke to me, especially the second stanza.

Excellent truth here!

def. a timely topic – esp. in the light of what happened in paris last week

Timely and thought-provoking. Without some diversity, life would be a bit blah.
Jan 16, 2015 @ 11:24:55
very thought provoking – with tolerance can there be good an evil ?
Jan 16, 2015 @ 12:24:30
The question of good and evil…I believe there is both…do we tolerate evil? Or is “intolerance” considered the greatest evil? hmmmm

Nice. We all should learn and practice those beliefs!

I love that second one ~ Tolerance is respect for others & yourself ~

Wise in words.
Jan 16, 2015 @ 04:55:17
Can’t argue with that!
Jan 16, 2015 @ 04:37:54

Thanks, HA…not my own wisdom, I just summarized an excellent quote 🙂
Jan 15, 2015 @ 22:22:03
Indeed.. And tolerance is about understanding yourself. To be tolerant is about going into what you really don’t like…

Amen, Lynn–tolerance can lead to acceptance & fellowship despite the differences in opinions, beliefs, & religions. All we need is Love–tempered with tolerance; just saying.
