One thing I can tell you is that human beings will always surprise you when you least expect it.  Just when you think somebody is going to behave a certain way, they pop up and turn things around for themselves much to your delight!

That is the main point behind this episode.  In it, you will hear the story of a monk who never gave up on one of his students when the rest of the class was ready to leave because of his bad behavior.  It teaches us that we should not give up on one another and that we must play a positive role in the lives of those all around us!

Let me be clear and say that I am not advocating for you to tolerate bad behavior.  I am also not even remotely thinking that you should accept abuse in any form.  What I am saying, however, is that if you are in a position to help someone, then you should do so actively and intentionally for as long as you can possibly manage it.  When you do, the world and those around you become amazingly better.
