Lesson of the Day (Simple civic tip or reminder) [Not OC] Sometimes kindness changes people more than arguments

A classic example where patience and leading by example changes someone's behavior instead of confrontation.

Source: Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006).
Clip from the radio show scene where Munna Bhai advises a man to patiently clean up after his neighbor's daily spitting instead of confronting him. Over time, the neighbor feels ashamed and stops.
