#23 Washington’s Rules of Civility, 2026 Updated with pet, Peeves

GW Rule #23

When you see a crime punished, you may be inwardly pleased; but always show pity to the suffering offender.

PEEVES

We all want justice for bad deeds, but we never truly know what created their mean and cruel behavior. Let’s leave that to The Big Guy. Compassion.

MADAMA

It’s very hard to see mean, selfish, and cruel behavior as the perpetrator’s own suffering being inflicted on others.

SANDRA

Sometimes this level of compassion feels impossible, especially if someone we love has been hurt. Ask for Divine or professional help to arrive at a true place of compassion. You might need to forgive yourself, too.
