Show Mercy To Others

Check On Your Leniency

Displaying mercy is one of the best ways to practice being moral. Mercy keeps you focused on what you are for rather than on what you are against. Rather than being against starvation, through mercy you feed the hungry, for example. Mercy encourages you to find loving solutions rather than angry reactions. It helps you rectify affronts rather than exacting retributions.

The next time you have the opportunity, seek justice but temper it by forgiving someone whom you could punish. Practice leniency by relieving the suffering of someone you dislike. As you do such things notice how mercy triumphs over judgement. Start with yourself. Give yourself compassion for past actions. When facing injustice, state how you feel and then let it go. When you speak of your wrath your wrath will end.
