Have you noticed that those who are intolerant are also isolated?  Their inability to accommodate different outlooks or cultural viewpoints causes them to separate themselves from the community.  Rather than see the strengths that emerge from the convergence of other viewpoints, they turn away from the possibilities of an expansive experience.  Whatever causes such a reaction, be it fear, misunderstanding, or close-mindedness, let us address the causes of intolerance and provide healing solutions.  The Reading Room thanks you for your prayerful attention to this topic during August.
