Sweet Revenge

27 52

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.

Those who speak ill of others are really showing what is inside them and it is not good, the same happens with people who are full of revenge and evil, there is nothing good inside them, the bad and negative things that we think or do only fill our soul with darkness.

That is true that is why we should plant kindness instead because when kindness pervades in the atmosphere, it feels better and healthier.

When we are surrounded by good people, we feel a really relaxing and clean environment.

Sometimes revenge can lead someone into darkness. They thought it's right but it will never be. Sweet revenge is better because it will bring you inner peace and happier life

Always choose peace. If people talk about you, then let them. You know in your heart that you did nothing wrong. Sooner or later, they will stop. People like that only like confrontations and I pity them for they will never find peace.

Indeed. Because in the end, it is about building good memories.

I was once told that the best act of revenge is to keep calm and let it look like you are not affected. It makes the opponent to run mad

Indeed, that is effective. But, there are those who have a very bad attitude who doesn't stop until they see you crawl on land.

Sometimes it's hard not to take your frustration out on someone who has hurt you but it's what must not do but rather replace that revenge with kindness

Yes, that is better. Because the moment you take revenge by doing the same, you are just implying you're like them. So just treat them with kindness instead, with the hope that somehow, they'll get ashamed for what they are doing.

You are on point sir. Sweet revenge is the best. No matter how they throw us still do not take revenge.

You said it well. This is really an eye-opener for those people who only spend their leisure time dragging others down.

Agreed. They should read it for them to realize what they're doing.

I can't disagree with you. All you've mentioned are facts. I've met such people in my life. I remain unbothered even after hearing some inaccurate issues about me. I don't stoop down to their level but I don't hold any grudges on them. I still smile and talk to them like I haven't heard anything. That's my way of making them feel guilty after talking behind my back. It's up to them if they think I am faking it. I don't really care for as long as I am not like them.

I do the same but what I don't like is that even those who are old already still do this thing as if they haven't learned a lesson yet. But anyway, it is better to let go of these negative feelings and still treat them with kindness because this is what matters the most.

It is sad because there are really people who seemed very humble and good in front of you yet they have been telling a lot of things, bad things, when you are already behind them.

They really speak behind you when you are already gone, sa Tagalog plastik.

So true Julez. There are people who are religious and attending mass always but their actions or behaviors didn't fit. I don't know what's in their mind. It's a shameful for themselves. I learned that don't mind them Julez. It's life. There are people like that exist in this world even you did good something still they are going to find ways to ruin you. Neglect them and still kill them with your kindness.

Those people who are talking about other people don't have any goals and don't have something to be busy at. Because if you are busy, you don't have time for that. Also, if you have respect for other people you will not talk about them.

Indeed. Respect is important yet some don't know its value.
