Be slow to judge - since it's worth so little anyway, force yourself to forgive those who offend you right away, check your tongue from speaking badly of others, hear both sides first, don't trifle with uncharitable remarks, construction requires mastery while destruction any unskilled laborer can do, don't pass judgment on superiors, clashes with world's selfishness will help you appreciate fraternal charity, your ostentatious charity is repelling, brother helped by brother is a fortress.
