Sweet Revenge

When others throw rocks at you, give them bread instead. I grew up instilling in my mind this advice from my parents. Even though it gets too much sometimes and even irritates you, you do not have to suffer the same way as others do just to have an act of revenge. Just let them realize their own wrongdoings. There will also be a time for them to regret what they have been doing to drag you down.

To be honest, I have just been keeping track of all the things I am hearing from others about something like this and more things like it. I don't know when it will burst, but I hope not to because, as I have said, it is better to treat others with kindness rather than anything else. Because if I do, it will just make me pity myself for doing such unnecessary things.

Yes, it is really sickening to see some of your neighbors spending time together talking about things they sometimes invent, making it even worse. Little did you know, it is you already whom they are making issues with? I don't know what's with people having this kind of attitude. Well, it is not bad to have some talk with others, but not in that way. They can talk about things that are far healthier than that, but yeah, it is really hard to not get tempted by talking about things like that, especially when it is really a hot topic in town.

Almost every day, I also read several posts from random people expressing their anger on social media towards other people. I know that feeling and I understand that. But sometimes, doing such things just adds more fuel to the fire. There is nothing wrong with it. But sometimes, all you have to do is pray. Pray to God to guide us and pray for those who may have hated us for doing nothing to realize their mistakes and light their way to just being contented with what they have or to using the achievements of others to inspire them to do better too.

What is more sickening is that there are those who always attend mass but in reality they are far more worse than you could ever imagine. It hurts but these kind of individuals exist and they can be found almost everywhere.

When it comes to the heart, emotions may be complex. As if a snake had crawled out of the darkness and hid beneath our feet, we believe we've put pride on hold in favor of humility, only to find it slithering right in front of us.

No matter what you are doing, there are always those who dislike you even for doing nothing. It's their problem, not yours.

There will always be two sides or more to a story. One side says the real thing, and the other speaks about the opposite—sometimes exaggerated, sometimes lacking further details. It is good if the story about you that travels from one ear to another is the better one, not the lie-filled comments and the like.

But anyway, treating them with kindness as if you are not affected fully by their actions and lies is still a sweet thing we can do. It may not really be an act of revenge, but it might or may not slap them hard when they see that the one they have been trying to drag down is still standing firm and becoming stronger with every fall. This is because I believe that the one who is being pulled down is the one who rises more.

Matthew 23:12

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be babased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

The humble spirit is found in those who are modest in the heart. You may bow to a religion you worship, a faith you embrace, or perhaps simply your own nature. When a person has a modest spirit, he or she glorifies God in the eyes of the Lord and his or her peers.

In this world where we can be anything, it will and will always be the best to choose to be kind.
