Its funny how most people find the contrast between compassion and contempt so shocking. Maybe its shocking because its rare. When there's a quarrel between two people, one is rarely mature enough to take the words, and speak the opposite. Its often thought that harmful words are fair punishment. Its often thought that hateful speech will hurt the other. The kinder the reaction, the more painful the blow; simply because you aren't being accused by the ignorance of another, but the ignorance within yourself.
Being broken to be mended.
Love can break a person, but will also transform them.
Hate hardens a person, but what's the use of solidity when you're merely a statue of sand?
Open the eyes of the blind and there will be fear, but beyond will be beauty.
Pry their eyes open with grace, not insults.
Thanks.
