The paradox of #tolerance: #intolerance is invulnerable to it. Thus, as the age-old adage goes: fire must be fought with fire. Intolerance must be fought likewise, not with tolerance but with a rebuke that leaves no room for interpretation: “this far, and no further.”

Which does not mean that we should all simply turn a blind eye to the emotions and feelings that lead to their intolerance, by the way. Doing so would only entrench their feelings of being alone, of being “wronged”.
