Tolerance

Here is another I found in the church news, from Pres Packer at a young adult fireside:

"I give you a strong caution. Be wary of the word tolerance....we are not required to tolerate anything that leads to unhappiness...Tolerance is often demanded but seldom returned. Beware of tolerance. It is a very unstable virtue."
"Remember, there are some things that are fixed, things that cannot change and will not change. They are part of the eternal plan. They are from God. Those who are willing to accept these things will be blessed. Those who reject what God has given us must suffer the consequences."

I thought that was very interesting, and fitting for our times.

I really like that quote. It's not PC *at all*
President Packer is never PC though :)
