Mr. Intolerance and the Jester
Antinomies
are jokes, but they’re useful jokes. They reveal the Maybe that precedes Yes
and No. I offer these two:
Mr.
Intolerance can tolerate all those, and only those, who cannot tolerate
themselves. Can Mr. Intolerance tolerate himself?
The
Jester makes fun of all those, and only those, who do not make fun of
themselves. Does the Jester make fun of himself?
(BTW:
Mr. Intolerance is a kind of King; but as the King was looking down, the Jester
stole his thorny crown!)
