DAY 79
Treatise on Tolerance
Traité sur la tolérance
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Can I genuinely respect others who hold beliefs profoundly different from my own?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading Voltaire's account of the Jean Calas affair, a man destroyed by religious frenzy, I felt anew the weight of the word "tolerance." With nothing but his pen, he fought against the intolerance and blind faith of his age. To loathe another simply because they hold a different thought, a different belief, is no relic of the past. Voltaire's sharp satire and his burning cry point out clearly where we must halt our hatred of others and where the seat of reason we are bound to defend truly lies.
