Knowledge: real is always through revelation

Information collection is not knowledge. True knowledge is revealed from within when Krsna is pleased with us. SB 3.32.33

Love is all we need, but whose love?

But mostly the source of happiness is misidentified in this world. The proverbial ice cream that gurantees happiness entices foolish moths into the fire of dissatisfaction. Even those who rise above expecting joy from material objects and achievements, are hopelessly expecting love from imperfect people to satisfy them. Krsna is the only one worth loving. This realization is what is needed to stop the misidentification of the source of true joy.


Tolerance is love

Unless you love, you cannot tolerate. Love means we understand that whatever behavior is being dealt out to us is the best this person can do from their level of knowledge. And we deserve worse since we misused the independence Krsna gave us. Thus we can easily be a well wisher even when a person is mistreating us and is ill-motivated.

However, when tolerance poses danger to others, that becomes violent tolerance. Such behaviors should not be tolerated when they harm the innocent.
