thoughts in chaos

long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to the light. [john milton] when life gives you lemons, ask for salt and tequilla. [unknown]

on tolerance

the truth is, people are intolerant by nature. and there's no way to deny it. we might well wear one of those pretty masks of tolerance and friendship that are so in fashion today. we might repeat day and night those fancy and politically-correct slogans. but deep inside, we are intolerant. we do not trust the differences. we tend not to like those who think differently, radically differently. more: we tend not to listen to them, even. and we pretend not to. we pretend it day and night. oh, we are so good, so tolerant, so comprehensive towards the other. tolerant, my ass.
