Accepting other people and their differences is one of the keys to observing the commandment of not causing others pain with words. The less you accept other people, the more likely you are to insult them or to say things they will find painful.
Lesson 2
The key to accepting other people is to realize that everyone is created in the image of G-d. Even if someone does something wrong, his/her essence is precious. Insulting a human being and humiliating them is an affront to the Creator. The more we internalize this awareness, the more careful we will be not to cause each other pain with words.
