What do all of us demand of others?

From those next to us? We ask them to love us. To take care of us. To forgive us. To put up with us. To show understanding. To look away from our mistakes. To stand by us during life’s difficult times. To help us with our needs. To keep us company when we are lonely and so much more. Today’s passage form the bible has given us an advice, or perhaps a commandment. It advices us to implement first all we demand from others. We should take the first step and show our love, our forgiveness and our tolerance. We first should overlook our neighbor’s mistakes and run to our neighbors’ hardships and especially to our enemies and even to those who feel hatred towards us.
