Be gentle with the rude;
For chances are
Something painful sparked the mood.
Show kindness to the mean;
For chances are
Dark days are all they’ve seen.
And love the ones who hate;
For chances are
Their suffering has been great.
For if I see beyond the face
And read between the lines,
Then chances are I’ll give more grace
And see their sins are mine.

The line, "something painful sparked the mood" is great...It reminds me of the rabbi who asked his disciple, "Son, do you know what hurts me?" The follower answered, "Why do you confuse me with irrelevent questions?" The rabbi replies, "My question is neither confusing nor irrelevent for if you do not know what hurts me how can you truly love me?"
