Lately, I’ve become more and more aware of how much easier my life would be if I in different situations had chosen to “love my enemies”, “turned the other cheek” or “done unto others what I would have had them do unto me”. It takes some contemplation to realise how different the probable outcome of many situations would have been, had I followed Jesus’ example. If I would have tried to see the other person’s perspective, apologised and admitted my part in what transpired or forgave instead of judged. What kept me from doing so? Pride is what kept me from doing so.
