So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a blind eye to them.
Quick condemnation of all that is not ours, of views with which we disagree, of ideas that do not attract us, is the sign of a narrow mind, of an uncultivated intelligence. Bigotry is always ignorant, and the wise boy, who will become the wise man, tries to understand and to see the truth in ideas with which he does not agree.
I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.
All tyranny, bigotry, aggression, and cruelty are wrong, and whenever we see it, we must never be silent.
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.
When you discriminate against anyone, you discriminate against everyone. It's a display of terrible intolerance.
Stupidity, outrage, vanity, cruelty, iniquity, bad faith, falsehood - we fail to see the whole array when it is facing in the same direction as we.
Bigotry or prejudice in any form is more than a problem; it is a deep-seated evil within our society.
