Summary
This quote emphasizes the dichotomy between our expectations for mercy from a higher power and our own willingness to extend mercy to others. It suggests that sometimes we are quick to entrust people to the mercy of God, expecting a compassionate response, while failing to exhibit the same compassion ourselves. It highlights the inconsistency in our actions and calls for a more empathetic and merciful approach towards others, rather than relying solely on external sources of mercy.
