Reaction begets reaction in kind eventually unless one does their own inner work. The trick is to realize that cultivating graciousness is both the best thing to express toward others and also its own best reward. Eventually one realizes that cultivating grace/graciousness is not naive or an “airy-fairy” idea but an empowering experience where nothing of value is lost and one’s ability to be effective is actually greatly increased.
