Rather than aspiring to spiritual principles we should be aiming for a good heart.
The love and understanding of the heart will guide us through the perilous waters of principle with common sense.
Where there is a conflict we should ask ourselves: "What does my heart say?"
Often this will mean putting aside some rigid principle for the sake of love.
We should always put the person before the principle.
Then we will not condemn people out of fear.
Each person has their own story.
And it is not for us to judge.
So have a good heart.
And cultivate understanding.
