Whether you believe in Jesus or not, do you think everyone should strive to be more Christlike?

[Anonymous]

Being Christlike means shaping your heart and behavior to reflect Jesus’s way of loving and living. It’s not about being perfect, but about how you treat others and who you’re becoming on the inside.

Compassion: Caring for others, especially the hurting or overlooked.
Humility: Not making yourself the center; serving rather than showing off.
Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges and choosing mercy.
Patience: Staying gentle even when things or people are difficult.
Kindness: Acting with warmth, generosity, and understanding.
Integrity: Being honest and consistent, even when no one is watching.

Yes. I believe people should at least try to be like Christ regardless of their beliefs.

No. I think human flaws will always outweigh the potential.

Maybe/other...

Of course I do, but what you've listed here is just "nice". And "nice" doesn't always translate into "Christ-like". Yes, it does mean to show compassion, kindness, and empathy. But at the same time, sometimes, it also means fashioning whips and flipping tables. Sometimes, it means shaking the dust off your feet in testimony against someone. Sometimes, it means making someone uncomfortable or upset, telling them something that they don't want to hear and in a way they don't want to hear it. Sometimes, it means being justly and rightly angry or taking a firm stance.

Now granted, all of this is subject to the virtues of prudence and temperance, which, let's just be honest, people in today's world know very little about, if anything at all. But there is a side to bring "Christ-like" that most people don't like to think about.
