    Mercy is when you do not get the punishment you deserve.  

    Whether it is God, a parent, a boss, an officer, a judge, teacher etc.  If you did wrong and someone decided not to give you the full punishment you deserved, you received mercy.

    I ascribe "MERCIFUL" as being something only GOD is. I do not think homo saps are capable of it. I do think they can be kind forgiving understanding. I question why? What's in it for them? I think it is because they believe if they extend that to others then others will extend that to them. Purely selfish motives. Altruism used to exist once upon a time. No longer in my opinion. Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Monday to thee and thine.

    Jesus Himself instructed us to "Be Merciful." He would never instruct us to do something for which we are incapable.

    Would you say mercy is "undeserved kindness"?

    That is a good way to put it.
