Theos-Talk Archives (November 1999 Message tt00037)

I do not have any black and white clear cut definition or litmus test of
what is cruelty. 

It is something that each one of us should decide for ourselves as best as
we can. 

Cruelty could even be saying an unkind word to your wife or child or parent
or friend or even a stranger which could be long lasting. 

Hope this helps.
