Whom will you not have compassion on?

Whom will you not have compassion on? Whom will you not show mercy? By that you will know the limits of your faith and humanity.

We are taught that we are given mercy by the same measure we give mercy, that we are forgiven by the same measure we forgive. So when we withhold compassion and mercy from others, we put limits on what we ourselves can receive.
