Read the passage.

“Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you and despitefully use you. … Life appears to me to be too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.”

Helen's philosophy is that no matter what someone says or does to you, do good onto them. Life is too short to be wasted being hurtful or mean to others. Do good onto to others and you shall receive the same good.

Hope this helped! <3
