It's really beautiful all the immense changes that Alma the Younger and his peeps the sons of Mosiah went through and how they changed, how they were changed by the power of the Atonement. Heavenly Father and Jesus are so amazing! The Atonement changed them from being destructive, selfish, ignorant, unkind to the following:
preaching Jesus and explaining the scriptures to all who wanted to listen
teaching with long-suffering (they were kind to the people who didn't want to listen and were mean to them, and they were patient with the ones who took a while to latch on)
publishing peace
comforting people
confirming their faith, their actions showed what they felt and believed to be true.
eager to encourage others to keep the commandments and repent and change and come to a knowledge of their Redeemer
This says to me that they were kind, they didn't force people to listen or change, they went to those who were ready, and they were kind to those who weren't.
