The world we live in is bound to have evil in it. We are all apart of this world that God created and if someone does something wrong or bad, we do have the right to dislike that person for their actions but we shouldn't because God created that person too. We should give that person love and we should all give each other love. "If you punish him, you only hurt yourself." We are all one soul from God, in a way if someone fails we all fail together. By disliking or judging someone for who they are or what they have done, you are only judging yourself. God wants us to accept each other for who we are and that we are all different.
"It may happen that your hand makes a mistake and hits you. But would you then take a stick and punish your hand cause it lacked understanding, and so increase your pain?" This is a good quote because by punishing, hating or hurting someone from their wrong doings or anything, you are only hurting yourself. No one is perfect, we all made mistakes in our lives and God has never punished us for it, he has only accepted us from the beginning.
Teaching the correct behavior is more powerful then punishing someone that does not know that it was wrong whatever they have done or didn't realize what they have done. Showing forgiveness is a strong quality and it will help those who do wrong and by giving them a chance to do right.
