Good and bad behaviour

[humble soul]

Both are habit forming. It's a just a matter of practising non reaction to achieve good behaviour. And staying away from scenarios that might trigger it.
It occurred to me that we can blame others for bad behaviour. So we self righteously assert this. " that person was provoking me and causing trouble". The wise will ignore such bad behaviour and just focus on their own good behaviour. Not use anothers' bad behaviour to justify acting the same.
It's all grace I know. But I am often running low. ?

"Virtue", says Augustine, "is a good habit consonant with our nature." (New Advent)

Vice is regarded as a habit inclining one to sin. (New Advent)

Too true. Love is not provoked, but it is not always easy for us.p

This is true. A psychologist once told me that the phrase, "You make me so mad!" is a false claim. Nobody can make us mad, sad, or happy. We choose to express those emotions and it takes practice.

It's all grace I know

Grace helps but so does our habit of what we think aboutas Phillipians 4:8 says, if we follow this command we won't be thinking negative thoughts.

I agree, we can hate sin but also we should not be judgemental. There is difference between humility and acceptance. We should always point out sins in a very non judgemental way.
