DO NOT CAUSE HARM

The best punishment for those who do evil to you, is to shame them by returning good for evil. This may appear to be a platitude. Actual experiment will disclose how practical and effective the advice it. The pain felt by the wrongdoer in his shame is greater than any that anger could inflict on him.

Is there anything in much learning if it does not make a man feel the pain of others as keenly as the pain in his own body and avoid causing it? When a man has experienced pain and knows what it is how can he bring himself wantonly to cause pain to others?

The pain that a man causes to another in the forenoon returns to him that very afternoon. The law of cause and effect brings unfailing retribution to the sinner.
