Thoughts on Shmelke of Nikolsburg

I liked this reading...
I liked how it's saying that even if someone does you wrong, you still need to love them and forgive them. I think this is true... They can't help it if they're wrong... like it said,"...And will you have no mercy on Him, when you see that one of His holy sparks has been lost in a maze, and almost stifled?" We're all wrong at some point. I'd want someone to forgive me if I did something to hurt them or offend them. Maybe i was having a bad day... Maybe my perception of the situation was off... Maybe there was a misunderstanding... There's so many reasons that people may be wrong... But i feel like who are we to judge what's wrong?

And like it was saying in the beginning, "How do we deal with the wicked-the tourturer, the rapist, the terrorist, the child-molester - and with the hatred and greed in ourselves?"... i mean, i think we need to forgive these ppl... even though they've done so much hurt upon ourselves and others... and i think it's easier said than done. But i believe that it can be done. Umm... im not sure what to physically do with these people, like put them in jail or something lol to keep them away from children .... i mean, we wouldnt want serial rapist or child molester to keep doing what he's doing... but i definately think we should forgive them.
