A brief motivational/religious monologue advising listeners on how to respond when they feel the urge to answer with contempt. The speaker recommends pausing, recalling a time when one responded to contempt with love and how that changed the situation, and choosing to answer with love, warm-heartedness, and gratitude guided by one’s heart or the Lord.
What do you do when you feel the urge to answer somebody with contempt? They make a stupid remark. They treat you with contempt. They treat you with hatred because of your political views. You want to answer with contempt. You want to roll your eyes. That's the stupidest thing you've ever heard. Stop. What do you do instead? Well, the way to figure that out is to think of a time when you were treated with contempt. You were treated with hatred, and you accidentally answered with love. No matter how you felt. And think how. How that changed the situation and, in fact, changed you. This is the secret, my friends. You get contempt. You stop. What am I supposed to do right now? What does my heart really want me to do? What does the Lord want me to do is to answer with love, with warm heartedness, with gratitude.
