Rule #5

Her code of ethics and propensity for genuine kindness always trump any hatred or anger she feels. And it is in this vein that she adheres relentlessly to her fifth rule.

Always forgive. This does not mean you must forget the heartaches, the pain, or even the injustices that continue to plague and haunt you. But you must forgive. Love, true friendship, and kindness are unconditional. You never know when what you do may save someone, help someone, may have an impact that brings additional good to the universe.

And even if it smarts and even if it risks your pride, your honor, and your sense of control over your emotions, do what you must when someone you care about loses touch with their world. It matters not what has happened in the past, for genuine love never judges, never operates on condition, and ultimately, never fails.
