We are not to allow our
minds to run along lines that would be unjust; and we are to learn
to apply this test of justice to every thought and word and act of
ours, while learning at the same time to view the conduct of others
from a different standpoint, so far as reason will permit, from the
standpoint of mercy, forgiveness, pity, helpfulness. But we cannot
be too careful how we criticize every thought we entertain, every
plan we mature, that the lines of justice shall in no sense of the
word be infringed by us with our heart’s
approval. |
