That includes respecting their beliefs; in fact, it means reaching their spiritual Self through their beliefs, not ours. It means putting oneself in their shoes; cheering them up if possible, but seeing things from their point of view.

To Love, which crowns our courage...To the day, to the night!...And three cheers for Music...
