Elder Paisius the Holy Mountain was asked:
- How should we treat a person who treats us unfairly?
- As our great benefactor, who makes deposits in our name into God’s savings bank. Such a person makes us rich forever. Is this not enough? Don't we love the one who benefits us, don't we express our gratitude to him? In the same way, we should love and be grateful to the one who treats us unfairly, because he benefits us for eternity.
