Q. But are there things which are really wrong, of which one cannot be tolerant?
A. The wrong-doer has his own wrong as his worst enemy. Besides us being hard on him, his own wrong is his enemy; he is himself in a trouble, he is his own enemy. The conditions, the circumstances, the people he will meet, from every side he will receive hate sooner or later. We may be making a mistake, we do not know behind a person's action what is hidden. Therefore be tolerant, forgiving. Very often a simple wrong has a hidden right, and very often a simple right has a hidden wrong. Besides, we cannot always judge very well. In order for us to judge in the first place we have no right to judge, unless we have become spectators; then only we begin to learn how to judge. But when we are in the middle of the struggle we cannot judge.
