“To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.

If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more payback. Live generously.
