”I can’t stand those who are intolerant”. (In Norwegian: ”Jeg kan’ke fordra trynet på de som er intolerante.”) Why is it that it feels justified to dislike some people?
I will never approve of intolerance, but am I able to be generous towards people who seem unreasonable and condemning of others? I don’t want to adopt their approach to life – I want to see beyond their insecurity, anger or maybe self-righteousness (often combined with ignorance).
This is just a reflection. I need to think of it some more – what it implies in real life…
(The picture was a good illustration to my first draft of today's blog, but as it turned out it has nothing to do with anything - except maybe for recognising our diversity. It was taken in Khao Lac, Thailand.)
