tolerating always turns into resentment. at first, you call it patience, then love. but what it really is, is self abandonment. every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. eventually, the bill comes due.
Also, education and intelligence aren’t the same thing. There are thoughtful people who never had much access to school, and there are highly educated people who confidently spread nonsense 😂
