Vengeance & Forgiveness
Vengeance is an act most people are known for. It involves paying evil back with evil. However, hurt and offended people tend to be vindictive. As a result, thousands of retaliatory attacks are witnessed from the past records.
Vengeance is becoming an emerging way of living among people who were previously faithful and honest with others. This can lead to an escalation in the number of vengeful attacks among individuals and may result in the destruction of communities.
Paying evil back with evil is the watchword some people work with. And if it’s not, then it’s something most people would like to do. But, no one wants to admit to doing such things because it is an act of immorality and unrighteousness, which brings punishment from even the Law. But everyone has their breaking point. It’s when they get hurt so badly that they become so angry that they end up hurting someone else worse than how they were hurt. Now, a good person doesn’t do this to spite. A good person is more likely to do this, because they don’t want to be the victim but rather the victor.
And if you think about it, vengeance is one of the best sorts of justice there is. What’s better than getting payback on someone who badly wronged you? Unfortunately, vengeance can never be legal in any country or by moral standard.
One of the common ways most people pay evil back with evil is by cursing (Though most European countries don’t believe there’s any effect to being cursed or believe in diabolical powers). My entire life I have learnt that vengeful acts like cursing and acts of violence like killing create a terrible cycle of pain, hate and violence. They hurt not just the victim but often the one who commits the act as well.
I have also learnt that anger is like a destructive fire. Never get into a battle with fire, it accomplishes nothing except to burn you up and make you weaker.
The only way to overcome pain, to face defeat and to defeat your enemy is forgiveness. It doesn't matter if you feel the person deserves it or not, it's about you and how free you can be from anger and violence towards others. I don't believe in forgiving someone for an act he or she committed on me, it's about how I can let go of that pain and move on with my life.
Forgiveness is the key to redemption. Once you learn to forgive, you get to a place that lets you truly love again. Forgiveness is not codependency. It’s not even the same thing as understanding where someone else is coming from. Forgiveness is a choice. It’s a rare and wonderful choice. One that requires a radical and fundamental reorientation of the soul, that lets go of past hurt and pain, thus allowing you to live your life without being weighed down by it.
A few years back, I was in a pretty bad place in my life. I was bitter and angry at the world, mostly at myself for reasons that, at this point, aren’t really important. What happened isn’t important either – it was an argument between my best friend and me that got blown way out of proportion, fueled by our own egos and defense mechanisms.
Forgiveness is a skill that must be cultivated. It's a skill we all need. It's the key to unlocking our true potential and highest good. Forgiveness is the ultimate experience in empowerment, and the only way to break the power of those who think it's okay to hold you back.
The biggest obstacle in forgiving someone may not be them but you or your ego. This can be your worst enemy in life, because it keeps your stuck in hatred and resentment while also stealing your ability to connect with others.
The ability to forgive is a gift of liberation, that allows you to get rid of the negative feelings and experiences that you have stored up inside. If you're not able to forgive, then you're allowing yourself to be controlled by the influence of others. You are the only one keeping you trapped, and therefore no one else is responsible for your bad feelings, except for yourself.
