NO REVENGE

Before seeking revenge, remember that revenge can be avenged—this is an important truth of life. Anyone aiming for a successful life must fully accept this reality.

When someone causes you pain, a desire for revenge ignites inside you. You may want to retaliate to soothe the fire in your heart. However, it’s important to remember that if someone hurting you has triggered a desire for revenge, won’t the same desire for revenge arise in the person you hurt in return?

This cycle of vengeance causes more harm and unrest. To break free from it, one must show restraint and wisdom. Instead of aiming for retaliation, choose forgiveness and peace. Doing so not only protects you from more harm but also helps create a more harmonious and just society.

In life, grasping and practicing this principle is crucial for genuine success and inner peace.

Surely, this is how it will be. After your revenge, they will seek revenge as well. This will start a cycle of evil. You will have to endure one pain after another. Therefore, wisdom lies in adopting the approach of overlooking and ending the matter at the earliest stage.

Taking revenge on someone is not a simple task. You have to use your energy to get back at them. Without investing a lot of time and money, no one can truly take revenge on another person.

Therefore, adopting a forgiving attitude and overlooking offenses not only saves your resources but also breaks the cycle of vengeance, leading to a more peaceful and harmonious life.

Now, even if the person seeking revenge succeeds in their plan, it comes at the expense of losing some of their own assets. Ultimately, what one gains from revenge is only psychological satisfaction, nothing more.

However, if the same amount of time and money is invested in a positive effort (such as a business), it remains preserved in a different form and eventually returns to the individual with additional profit. Using your strength for revenge means losing your strength. Using your strength for a positive task means regaining it with added benefits. In such a case, one should invest their resources in gaining rather than losing.
