‽istis
reclaims Intolerance – possibly, perhaps, maybe… (weekending 16th November 2019)
‽istis wasn’t sure whether to speak boldly, to whisper or to remain silent to mark UN resolution 51/95[i] and the International Day for Tolerance.[ii]
‽ what if, maybe, both
sides of a story were convincing in a universe of quantum morality?
‽ what if, possibly, I
am the person that they come for first?[iii]
‽ what if, perhaps, intolerance
is the only thing that shouldn’t be tolerated?
‽ what if society is
not civil and there is no peace?
And just possibly, perhaps, maybe what if a recognition of the complexity of knowing when, where, why and how to draw a line was acknowledged and we sought to see things from each other’s perspective? Would we find more or less in common and might we have a clearer, shared idea about what exactly is intolerable to us, when it might no longer be tolerated, and what to do about it?
