Senegalese blogger, SEMEtt l'etincelle noire comments the continued riots in the cities of France.   He presents us with his thoughts on TOLERANCE: “Tolerance and indiference. indiference is a condition with no pain or pleasure without worry or desire/ indiference has nothing to do with tolerance/ tolerance is acceptance of difference/ one who is indiferent has no need to practice tolerance/ Maurois? wrote ‘the worst thing about old age is not the weakening of the body but the indiference of the soul'” (in French)
