Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
To tolerate is to take upon oneself; a tolerance that comes into being on the backs of others is no longer tolerance. To tolerate the suffering of others, to tolerate an injustice of which we are not a victim or an atrocity that we are spared is not tolerance but selfishness, indifference, or worse.
I have only one passion, that for light, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and which has the right to happiness.
