724 (NEIGHBOUR/QUARREL/ SILENCE) If you do not know how to respond to a challenge, to a bad behaviour, to a bad word from a neighbour, the best thing is to keep silent and NOT to take him seriously… Your gain, from this attitude, will be inversely proportional to the damage that will occur by doing otherwise. (GOOD/ BAD/ INDECISIVENESS/ DECISIVENESS) Usually, we passionate people do evil without thinking, while we hesitate to do good, thinking about it over and over again, without doing anything! You, my brother, do the opposite:
If you are thinking of doing evil, think about it again and again… and postpone it, and this postponement will bring about the desired cancellation.
On the contrary, whenever you can, do good – without thinking about it so much, and tormenting your mind too much – and the joy will all be yours!
