An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. This is another one of the saying my mother had, I heard this all the time. This is how she thought. She was in no way vindictive. She thought we should all get along. The concept of revenge she just could not tolerate. Why not talk about the issue face to face and let the other person know what they did affected you instead of steaming and stewing about ways to create havoc and hurt? I guess it’s human nature to want to hit back at the ones that hurt you. The thing is if the person doesn’t even know that they hurt you then they won’t even know why you are plotting their downfall. It’s as we know have said before “it’s like drinking poison, and expecting the other person to die.”
I know persons that are extremely vindictive and they will let you know that they are, while on the other hand I know others that you would never know. They laugh and talk with you while stabbing you in the back. Is it that they really see you as the enemy but you don’t even know. You might have hurt them in some way and they will bide their time and then strike like a viper.
Should we not let go off the hate so that we feel better? I am just asking. Will not always feeling this hate slowly poison your spirit and I feel the body. On the other hand some will say that need for vengeance makes them more focused as they now know what is happening. They know the friend from the foe. When the scales fall off the eyes they can now protect their back. I have felt that need to pour the wrath of God on some people but at the end of the day do you really feel better? I don’t hold a grudge because that’s just me. Don’t get me wrong I won’t make the same mistake again especially with that person because I don’t forget. As my mom always told me, always forgive but never forget so you don’t make the same mistake again. No need to hold on to the hurt forever.
I understand the feeling of wanting to lash out when others hurt you it’s only human. Are you one to always be plotting some form of vendetta or do you roll with the punches? Do you think that karma will always win in the end. In that case is it a feeling of your time will come.

The good book says, “vengeance is mine says the Lord”… so it’s not for us. Plus it takes too much time and energy when you could instead be emitting positive vibrations.
Revenge is something that is not in my DNA. Sometimes I asked the Lord how many times I should ‘turn the other cheek’ , and just ask Him to take over the situation.
I guess we turn the cheek until it’s taken over by she/him. 🙏🏽
Leave it to the Lord as you say. Let she/him handle the negative energy. 🙏🏽
In life, it is oftentimes effortless for one to get revenge on the people that inflict hurt. However, revenge is a game for fools. The best revenge, if one must, is attaining undeniable success. One should never wish bad for those who inflict the hurt, because one will not profit from it. Instead, only wish that they get what they truly deserve, and allow The Lord to decide what that will be. Being on the receiving end of the hurt can be a devastating experience, and one must somehow learn to cope with it before it consumes one’s existence. One must be mindful of vengeful thoughts and urges, and lean more to the positive things that were created from the hurtful experience. Yes, one oftentimes fail to see the positive in the negative, but one will learn that the positives usually outweigh the negative, once the sting is no more.
Well said my friend, revenge is a game for fools. It can become a dangerous game and one that can never be won. As others have said in the comments, leave it to the Lord. 🙏🏽
