Have you ever wanted revenge for a wrong committed against you? I have. ‘That old law about “an eye for an eye” leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.’ (M.L.King.Jr) Revenge can be appealing. ‘We want to retaliate when someone’s done something to hurt or offend us. We want to “get back” at them and show them what it feels like…Rarely do people feel better when they handle their own revenge.’ (YV) Retaliation leads to a vicious and toxic cycle of hurt and pain. It may feel harder, however it’s much more worthwhile to choose to empathize, walk away, and even forgive those that hurt us. Try it, I know it works.
