In this beautiful world, so very rich in magnificent color... such a tradgedy it is, to see only in black and white.
Whether our intolerance be out of critical error in logic, from learned bias, or from fear of the unknown... always does it make our eyes narrow, until we see only a pinprick of light, surrounded by the darkness. Intolerance focuses on that small speck of light, not allowing itself to see anything else through the darkness.
I, and I would think most of us, have been on both the giving end of intolerance, and the recieving end of intolerance. Those who recieve the intolerance can often see the brilliant world around them, and wonder at why the intolerant cannot see it. It is because one must blind themself... to the point that they can see nothing except their justification (however unjust)... to become intolerant.
When emerging from intolerance... it is like removing a blindfold: shocked by the light you see, and regretting that you had not in the first place seen it... one often feels shame at their prievious intolerance...
It took me a full month to completely fix a critical error in my logic (sometimes known as a fallacy), during which time i completely reconsidered entire sections of my philosophy. One might hope that Anto Kennedy realize such a learning expirience for his own sake. It is a horrible expirience to be blind... so much bitterness, depression, hatred... but opening your eyes like a child anew is so very liberating...

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
