Summary

This quote suggests that being open-minded and tolerant can become problematic when it leads to apathy towards distinguishing between what is morally right or wrong. The idea proposed is that a lack of discernment between these values can eventually lead to a hostiliy towards what is deemed as right. In other words, if one does not value or uphold righteous principles, there is a risk of developing a negative resentment towards those who do. This quote highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between open-mindedness and a clear understanding of ethical standards.
