I strongly believe in being kind to everyone, even those who are not kind to me. How often I am able to actually practice this however, is a different matter. Sometimes I succeed, other times I fail miserably.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
