Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth
These are strong words for where we constantly pigeonhole others on the basis of their ideas, their customs and even their way of speaking or dressing. Ultimately, it is the reign of pride and vanity, where each person thinks he or she has the right to dominate others. --If we are constantly upset and impatient with others, we will end up drained and weary. Saint Therese of Lisieux tells us that "perfect charity consists in putting up with others' mistakes and not being scandalized by their faults.
