After reading my last post, some of you might be wondering whether I am being practical. We can dislike an act but we shouldn't dislike the person. How is this possible?
I can give several examples for this. What do we do when we don't know who did the thing that hurt us. Let's say someone has thrown some garbage in front of your gate? What will you do? You will get it removed quickly, won't you? But if you see someone dropping the garbage at your doorstep, you will first vent your anger on that person before thinking of getting rid of the garbage, won't you? I am not suggesting that you should allow a miscreant to get away with the mischief. I am only pointing out that you can focus only on the act, if you choose to. (In this case, you had no other option, of course!)
So, please remember that it's in your powers to not dislike a person causing you a problem. even when you are confronting the person, you should only point out how his action has affected you rather than launching a personal attack on that person.
Let me point out a situation to you. There is a person who keeps making mistakes but you still love that person. Do you know who this person is? It is YOU! If you keep making mistakes but still love you, you can also refrain from disliking a person for making mistakes!
