In the end, we’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve been given. The worst thing that can happen is that we forget the core of the gospel is about loving our neighbors; that doesn’t mean love only those we agree with.

I too think this is key. The following comes to mind: “When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind.”
You never know what positive changes your kindness will evoke.
