You cannot be too gentle, too kind.
Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other.
Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of him who gives and kindles joy in the heart of him who receives.
All condemnation is from the devil. Never condemn each other…
Instead of condemning others, strive to reach inner peace.
Keep silent, refrain from judgment.
This will raise you above the deadly arrows of slander, insult, and outrage
and will shield your glowing hearts against all evil.

"Everyone imagines that if they go run away from civilization they will become St Anthony the Great or St Seraphim of Sarov; because they forget that Anthony's equal was a cobbler living in the slums of Alexadria, and the prophet Daniel lived a sinless life in Babylon in the employ of the wickedest king alive on the earth.

The problem is YOU, not your circumstances.

And as long as you think you can change human nature by changing circumstances, you're not "trad." You're a liberal, no matter what you call yourself."
