When we take our cues from the world, our lives will be flawed because the world has so many ways of doing things that are not God's ways. We need to take our cues from Jesus and follow our master teachers ways of living in this world. Jesus can remove our imperfections and create a lovely pattern for our living.
The world teaches us to get even Jesus teaches us to make things right by doing something good to those who do bad to us. The truth of that action is not always clear at first but it has been proven to work.
Be at peace with everyone including yourself.
