Cruelty

If someone advises you harshly, do not interrupt them; rather, benefit from their observations. Behind harshness lies great love, and that is how it ought to be.

Do not be like the person who smashed the alarm clock because it annoyed him—or rather, because it woke him up. Open your eyes: every matter has an explanation and a purpose. The rising and setting of the sun have their explanations, and the punishment of the oppressor has its explanation.

And tomorrow is another day...
