Be merciful until you can't be. Until you feel your heart begin to harden into a bullet. Then use that bullet.

About This Quote

Charles Bukowski said, “Be merciful until you can’t be.” The author is warning us that mercy is important to have so that when the time comes to be cruel, you are not afraid to use it. When you are able to be merciful, all of your actions will be based on how others feel.
