If a judge was to give a harsh sentence to his child because he is honorable, and it is what is just. I wouldn't conclude, that he doesn't love his child. Neither do I wish ill upon those who I find it difficult to have an amicable relationship.
"What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?" Attitude without action is meaningless.
I'd agree, that action will follow the true attitude!

I think that there is a misunderstanding here. I'm just talking about the OP which was general, although the principles do flow to the specific. I think that you may be trying to read too much into my analogy (although if I am mistaken... I apologize).
