Embarrassment is a Punishment

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One Wisdom and Goodness
Whenever we retaliate against the insult and confrontation of an offender, the fight will escalate. On the contrary, tolerance, patience, and advice will create shame in the opposite party, a punishment harsher than any other.

When a person acts upon these notions, he does not become confrontational when confronted, does not insult others when insulted, nor react to wry behavior. When he shows such patience and tolerance, it will result in the embarrassment of his opponent. His opponent will then apologize, seeking forgiveness. This notion is the best punishment for people who act that way.
