The meaning of mercy among Christians
Love for God is only true if a person loves people. It is believed that the Lord appears before us in the form of the poor and the poor - you can not push them away. It is necessary to give water and food to the hungry, to clothe all those deprived of clothes, to visit those in prison and the sick in hospitals, to take refugees into the house … This is what mercy is, according to Christian doctrine. To teach truth and goodness, to give our neighbor timely and correctadvice, do not take revenge, do not repay evil, forgive insults from the heart.
Deeds of mercy should be done discreetly, without naming yourself, so that the one to whom mercy is given cannot see it. God sees a good heart.
Examples of mercy

She, who knew what mercy was, died in a plane crash near Sochi, accompanying a consignment of medicines for the Tishrin University Hospital in Latakia to Syria.
Japan
Asia is mysterious and incomprehensible. In Japan, mercy is not honored. And if you give up your seat, bought with a ticket, to an elderly lady with a child in her arms, she will be indignant. According to the Japanese, such situations should be decided by the law, not by the heart.
However, kindness and mercy in Japan are realized in their way of life called "omotenashi" - a combination of refined courtesy plus the desire to maintain harmony and avoid conflict.
For example, when a Japanese catches a cold, he puts on a sterile mask so that he does not infect others. Before renovations begin, neighbors are given washing powder in a gift bag so they can wash their clothes afterwards.
Helpful and technology in Japan. Taxi doors swing open when a passenger approaches. The elevators "apologize" for making you waste your time waiting, and the toilet lid lifts when you go to the toilet.
Hinduism
