Take note how many steps can elevate us

to the peak of virtue:

1: Do not be the one who initiates any injustice.

2: After the onset of any injustice, do not reciprocate with an equivalent (revenge).

3: See that you do not cause whatever you suffered; only remain calm.

4: Suffer the injustice with patience.

5: Expect many more injustices, ungrudgingly.

6: Do not hate the one who had harmed you so much.

7: Instead, love him even more.

8: Strive to be good to him.

9: Pray to God for him.
