(8/8)
The paradox of tolerance isn’t a contradiction.
It’s a warning.
Love without discernment invites its own destruction.
So we must ask:
How do we preserve open society—without letting it be devoured by those who would close it?

“It requires twenty years for a man to rise from the vegetable state in which he is within his mother's womb, and from the pure animal state which is the lot of his early childhood, to the state when the maturity of reason begins to appear. It has required thirty centuries to learn a little about his structure. It would need eternity to learn something about his soul. It takes an instant to kill him.”
~ Voltaire
