Yes, we don't have to

Forbearance is to the value system of ecology what tolerance is to the value system of democracy. Forbearance is the ground in which culture takes root. Forbearance is knowing when to stop, knowing when enough is enough. Forbearance is self-limitation and self-restraint. Forbearance is to know 'yes we can...but no we don't have to'. Forbearance is good for the forborne but it is better for the forbearing.
