Why are we reactive, why do we lack charity, mistreat others, and answer them uncharitably? It is because we do not overcome our pride and our selfishness; we do not control ourselves. So we need to form our wills; the more we form ourselves, the more we will be able to master ourselves and practice charity. We stress the importance of the formation of the will, self-mastery, and the formation of one’s own character because if we let ourselves go, our nerves and natural instincts take over. (Charity)
