thank you for your post as well.
I think it comes down to mercy. Following some code of life where peace reigns in ones mind and household. We all struggle with life. We struggle so hard. Love can go a long long way. Loving ourselves, then loving our family is worth so much in this sometimes hectic world where materialism often comes before humanity. We need to turn this around.
Then again if one is too nice its easy to get trampled- its hard to keep the balance. It is a fine line- one people can write novels on.
Peace to the world- starts with peace in ones own heart-
