Condemn the act, not the person

When you talk about the soul being good and pure for everybody, Adi wanted to know what devils and demons are then?

I told him that there are no devils and demons - they really are good humans who decide to do the not-so-good things. 

I’m trying to make him differentiate between a bad person and a bad act. That nobody is a bad person, it’s just that they are deciding to do bad acts. I tried explaining to him that when any of his friends teases him or bothers him, doesn’t mean that they are bad...but that what they are doing is bad. And he should tell them - you are very good, what I don’t like is what you are doing right now.

The best part is he understands....and that’s what stuns me...
