The brightest diamond;

It is easy to be nice to someone who is nice to you, but what about people that have hurt you, people that you supervise or control, people that hate you, and people that are just plain bad? When you have the capacity to treat everyone with the same respect and compassion, this is the essence of human kindness.

Mercy is defined in the dictionary as “compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender, an enemy, or other person in one’s power; compassion, pity, or benevolence:”. To have mercy on someone is at the heart of human kindness.

We all have our dark moments where we wrong each other, so remember before you harbor resentment, that you yourself would wish for mercy.
