Never think evil. Some can see nothing but evil around them. This is a sign of an evil mind.
With regard to thinking evil of others, let us think of what we have heard so often, that is, if we wish to receive favourable sentence at God's judgement, if we want to avoid this judgement completely--we must never judge others, never think evil. Jesus himself, in fact, said it. No matter what we see or hear, we must never judge or think evil, because we do not know how that person whom we wish to judge stands in the eyes of God; we do not know what her intentions are.
St. Francis de Sales says: "If you cannot excuse the action, at least excuse the intention."
Forget past faults.
