Read matching colours circumference to centre, along rhyming coupets.
Tolerance is an internal (and infernal) paradox. "Tolerance is only required in the case of dislike, disagreement, disapproval, and thus is closely connected to differences between people.” (Vogt, 1997)
To tolerate is to place oneself in a superior position from which to dispense pity, or else it is to harbour complaisance. Do you tolerate race? Then, perhaps, you think your race is superior. Do you tolerate skin tone? Then, perhaps, you think your hue is superior. Do you suffer fools reluctantly or willingly? Then maybe you think you are the only sage. Do you tolerate the lost sinnerman? Then maybe you are the first-born saint

Thank you, Liam, for reading, commenting, and the RL addition. I really appreciate your stopping by and for letting me know how you feel about "paradox."
Since my first comment is from you, let me ask:
was the reading order of the lines clear enough to you?
If there are any ambiguities. I will further clarify.
Sincerely
cab
