But, surely, it is a low commentary on humanity, if it can control its passion only by wounding one another's feelings. I would have every young man and woman reading this book resolve absolutely never to tease anyone in a spirit of unkindness. I urge them never to comment critically, never to tease people upon their looks, their figure, their clothes, their parents, their class, or their neighborhood. Even unkindly teasing of one's home town can hurt bitterly when one is young. Boys should not "razz" other boys upon those things, but above all, no boy should tease girls about any of them. A boy who does so is a boor. Parents, teachers, pastors ought to keep stressing the importance of charity in all teasing. |
