You will find that humans are capable of extraordinary tenderness and extreme brutality, all in the one day. That one person can contain breathtaking contradictions, sinners can have moments of greatness, and saints can have streaks of darkness. Understanding this is crucial, as you will come to recognise what it is you can accept in yourself and others. You will also see that character is partly innate and partly built: make habits out of kindness, compassion, discipline, humility and honesty. Work hard on them. This will give you an unseen and magical strength.
