I imagine one of the reasons people cling to hate so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone,they will be forced to deal with pain. My enemy's face frightens me when I see how much it resembles mine. We cannot teach 'never' to be angry, but we can teach 'how' to be angry. What is tolerance but a consequence of humanity? We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
James Baldwin.
