I just saw this- and I wanted to share it with you. You can read the rest HERE– but there has been some sad things going on lately, and I thought…hmmm-how right he is, and how good the timing. It would be so great if we could learn to love, just a little bit more, and if not accept people for who or what they are- at least not hate them for it, and move on. I won’t go on in this row- he said it better then I ever could!

Words to think about concerning our ever-shrinking, interconnected world, from a 1959 BBC interview with British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell.

“I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral.

The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.

The moral thing I should wish to say…I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
