Elders use this to settle disputes between neighbors, emphasizing that a 'Bhala' (good) person ignores small slights. Used as a motivational quote in offices and schools to promote a positive work culture. Used by parents in the UK/Canada/USA to teach children to maintain their Punjabi values of kindness in a foreign land.
