If you are doing good to someone who's not nice to you, you're creating the possibility for them to feel ashamed of their bad behaviour, and you're trusting that the lord will bless you. Soto, to be over simplified, what is saying here is we the people of jesus are kind. We are not cruel. We help, we do not harm. We seek to advantage those around us, not take advantage. And when we do that, we shift to culture. Proverbs 12 26 is, the one who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor. But the way of the wicked leades thim astray. Some of you have seen this. I've seen it lately. I've been on a lot of airplanes, and there's this new thing now in airplanes where as soon as the plane lands, everyone gets up and sees how far they can run up in the aisle. You've experience at it like winded weed. Stop taking turns, feel a ha, and you can feel the ension rise in the plane, like all your potential enemies. And you can feel the temperature rise physically. And then i was on a plane the other day where when the plane landed, and this woman just stood up right away a she was an older woman, and she looked over to guy and said, hey, the young man with me, i can't see. Can you help us? I can't lift his bags and he needs help. Mike. I was like, absolutely. I can help you. And as soon as he said that, everyone else on the plain was like, do you need some help getting your backs? Let me help you. Some one's grabbing my bag. And like, i'm final. Need you. Il can thank you. And you realie, su, you won't. He didn't just help this lady like he helped all of us be civil human beings, that a little bit of kindness can shift to culture. One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor. Someone, someone says to me, hey man, i'm cool with someoneif they're cool with me. But if thy're not col with me, i'm not cool with them. O kesso, you're a follower, not a leader. Is that what you just said?
