With compassion, patience, and generosity
Doing so is an obligation for all humans, it is a part of being human
If you are nasty to others then you're not doing very well at being human and people who do that need correcting, for the good of everyone
Here is a big reason why you should treat all other people well:
Most people throughout the world know that being compassionate is a moral demand instinctively and this outlook is re-enforced by the world's various religious and philosophical traditions
They are all figurations of The Divine Substance
In this respect they are just like you
And God loves them as he loves you
They are like you - more than that, they are consubstantial with you
You and them are of the same ultimate substance, you have the same nature
And God loves them as he loves you
I think those are powerful reasons for treating other people well - even total strangers and people from totally different cultures
Humans should regard each other as siblings, God is above us all like a parent and loves each of us
I believe this is how God sees things and is what God wants
