"He who is generous and kind will 'win friends' (souls) and this is to be considered "wise" behavior.
It's not that the reader here is being told to indoctrinate others; the reader is being told to show kindness.

This was basically my position as stated earlier on in the thread.

I like that too. But, I must be honest. Your turkey avatar distracts from the seriousness of your post! It's just nasty looking, Renda!!! I don't want to look at it!!
