It means striving to understand before you decide to get frustrated. It means immediate forgiveness instead of vengeance. It means telling the truth instead of being dishonest.

It means doing good, even to those that would try to harm us. It’s believing that no one is above or below us. It means honoring agreements, no matter how unfair they seemed when we made them. It’s the realization that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It’s respecting our differences before casting judgment. It’s taking personal responsibility for the well-being of ourselves and those that are around us.

It’s having compassion instead of anger, and love before hate.
