All life, every living thing is a word for God in His mystery. - Michael Elmore-Meegan

If someone humiliates and hurts us, it is difficult to give them a second chance and turn the other cheek. They might just take another swing at us, we are not ready for that kind of abuse. Who needs it?

The price of doing nothing is far greater than the cost of error.

We know how it feels to be in the wrong and have someone shout at us or frown and walk past,we feel dreadful. We try to be friendly but so often it turns into a strained smile as someone replies curtly and asks what we want.
