I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.

Summary

This quote highlights the irony and complexity surrounding the concept of tolerance. It suggests that sometimes, individuals who claim to champion tolerance can display severe intolerance towards those who do not agree with their beliefs or values. It emphasizes the existence of a paradox, where seeking to foster acceptance and open-mindedness can devolve into a rigid stance that dismisses opposing viewpoints. The quote serves as a reminder to approach tolerance with humility and genuine understanding, rather than using it as a weapon to invalidate or attack others.

In general, the short game has been most effective. Besides working hard on it I always used my imagination with a touch of feel in my hands. You should hit the ball according to what your mind dictates but previously you should visualise the shot. This can be achieved with extremely high concentration. All the difficult shots are hit with the hands. I have hit shots simply by visualising the run of the ball. I had no problem in doing this because my mind clearly indicated I could not miss. I do not stand out any particular shot because it is necessary to believe in yourself to overcome any difficulties.

Ellis Peters's historical detail is very accurate and very minute, and therefore is not only interesting to read but good for an actor to acquire a sense of the period. And the other thing I think is that an actor lives in the land of imagination.

For those who have come here illegally, they might have a transition time to allow them to set their affairs in order. And then go back home and get in line with everybody else. And if they get in line and they apply to become a citizen and get a green card, they will be treated like everybody else.
