Do we respond with mostly annoyance or are we willing to help in a compassionate and understanding way? On the flip side, when we ask for help, are we doing it politely or do we think people owe us their help? Then to take it step further, when someone offends us or is rude to us we should forgive quickly just like we want others and God to forgive us quickly when we are in need of it. The world teaches us and our natural tendency is that when someone is rude to us that we have every right to be rude back, or when someone hurts us we have every right to \u201cget them back\u201d. When you go against that natural flow it oftentimes catches people off guard and can have a big impact on their lives and thoughts. Be the good, swim upstream, fight evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSet an example.
