MERCY AND JUSTICE

The foundation of the Kingdom of God is laid upon justice, fairness,

mercy, sympathy and kindness to every soul. Then strive ye with heart and

soul to practice love and kindness to the world of humanity at large,

except to those souls who are selfish and insincere. It is not advisable

to show kindness to a person who is a tyrant, a traitor or a thief because

kindness encourages him to become worse and does not awaken him. The more

kindness you show to a liar the more he is apt to lie, for he thinks that

you know not, while you do know, but extreme kindness keeps you from

revealing your knowledge.
