When someone speaks ill of their children, parents are very reluctant to accept such claims, arguing back, "My children would never do anything like that." This stems from parents love for their children. It has become commonplace nowadays to find people speaking ill of others. Without observing or considering the other persons condition and circumstances, people slander and defame others. Even if the wrongdoing of the other person is evident, arguing about what is right and what is wrong is not important to an individual who seeks love. In goodness, she will ask herself, What would be the best course of action for him? On top of that, if one wholly accomplishes perfect love, she will not even think of grounds on which to condemn others. No matter how flawed and lacking a person may be, she will trust and desire to commend him. People who have in their heart such a perfect love can be at peace with every one.
