Love Seeks Change in Others, While Hate Endeavor to Diminish Them

   An unjust person judges only to condemn, while the goodly look to fix the faults they find in others. By this rule, we can judge ourselves, to determine if we are being wicked or righteous in our judgments.
  What do we seek? Are we looking to scorn others? Do we scorn them when we spot a fault? Do we speak in derision of those in whom we find faults? Or, do we wonder what we can do to lead them from their errant ways?
   Hate speaks in the tongue of contempt. If we hold another person in contempt, we should question ourselves, for usually it means we are acting out of hate, and not out of love. Love seeks to bring about change in others. Hate endeavors only to diminish them.
