       But we have to remember that there is more than one way to do a lot of things, and all lead to the same end result. Your way of doing something may not be the same way another person does something, but either way may be fine in completing the task at hand. When we create unrealistic expectations for other people, it can cause us to become harsh and impatient toward others, thus losing our gentleness toward them. So, the more critical of a mindset a person has, the harder it can become to be gentle toward others. There is time for correction and redirection, but sometimes we just need to put up with, or ignore, other people’s troublesome or bothering traits. When we look at people, we should be focusing on what is good about them, and not just on what we perceive to be wrong, or what actually is wrong with them. This also allows us to display our attitude of humility. By focusing on the good in them, that leaves us no time for the bad. This is what love does. It thinks the best of everyone.
