What are your principles now versus say twenty years ago? "Do you retain or maintain the same guidelines or have they waivered and other methodologies taken root?"

I was just wondering.

Compared to twenty-five years ago I think I take more of a Law/Gospel approach to things now.

If I see someone who is stubborn, arrogant, etc...I'm more inclined toward Law which means telling what they should or should not do or give out punishment as needed.

If someone is in despair I will be more compassionate, no matter what the person has done and help in some way, whether it's words of encouragement, condolences or action.

I find that this Law/Gospel approach works very well :)
