       We have a choice on how we respond to others, and how we do that will come back to us. It will affect people’s perceptions of us. If we are too hard on people, or expect too much from them, they will sense this and begin to dislike us in return. It’s just common sense. Mercy is the way to go. And it’s not just our external actions that matter, but I believe that even if we act like we are merciful toward another, if that’s a false manifestation of how we really feel, then subconsciously the person can pick up on that. What I mean is that if we really are having thoughts in our heads that we are holding something against the person, or think they are stupid for doing this or that, they will subconsciously pick up on that. And, we will subconsciously be manifesting in our mannerisms and actions what we really think, what we really believe. So, it’s good for our mercy to actually be real, from the heart. This is what pleases God.
