Acceptance of people's different beliefs and origins is another. And acceptance is not tolerance; it is a step or two up from that. Tolerance implies a superiority. Acceptance implies an equality.<br /><br />But injustices? They are unacceptable.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236459315155380910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-13567670238853573142016-07-29T06:22:14.924+10:002016-07-29T06:22:14.924+10:00But Master, there are so many dragons.
