Do not blame the ignorant for their vices. Each vice is the shadow of some virtue. The more you blame others for their vice, the more you keep that vice-seed in the world where it can feed upon others. By this attention evil is continued in the world. But knowing that vice is nothing but the effect of nufs to control energy, one can perceive the hand of God even in wickedness. Find God, discern the good in all tendencies, and you help to purify the universe.
