I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
-- Baruch Spinoza Is tolerance necessary to understanding? Must we first tolerate something before we can truly understand it? Was good ole Baruch right?

Although he was an increditable ethicist, I once consulted him for his thoughts about love and was very disappointed. He seems not to have been inspired by it. At least, if he was inspired by love it was love for humanity, rather than love for any particular person that inspired him.

The more Spinoza I read, the more I like him.
