In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
