The exchange in the beginning of this reminds me of the old saying in Christian circles; "If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?"
I must admit that little saying makes one pause. Do I always treat everyone the way I should? No, sorry to say I don't. But I do try to if that matters! :-)

I think it all comes down to the Golden Rule, you know, "Do unto others.." I do pray that I can always at least strive to fulfill this scripture, and ask forgiveness when I fail.

I matters a great deal in my opinion. It is all we can do after all.
To love our neighbors as ourselves is the second great commandment. I fail at it regularly, it's so easy to fail in that way. I think that most if not all do as well. Yet there are days when I'm more focused on seeing the good in others and in giving of my time and substance to those who may need a break. I've found that reading the scriptures daily and in the morning are a wonderful source of strength to do God's will in this regard. We need all the strength we can get to overcome the temptations that will inevitably try us.
