Interestingly, love and mercy go hand in glove! One cannot exercise mercy without being genuinely motivated by love. It is the compassion that we experience when we see the plight of a person that motivates us to act in a merciful way.
Many atrocious crimes committed stem from deep hatred. We might ask how can a human inflict such injury to his fellow man… as though he has no feelings. It is because his conscious is seared…..
Hatred is a war that imprisons both sides of the camp. When one is consumed by hatred, that ill feeling builds up inside. It is like a cancer that starts to eat away into the soul. When someone first gets that cancer, they may not realise it because the signs may not be clearly evident. With time it starts to impair the person’s functioning until it leads them to the grave.
There was a lady who was consumed with anger…..
