Revenge
Let me tell you something, you humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of an eye for an eye, a life for a life
which is known throughout the universe for its stupidity. Even your Buddha and your Christ have quite a different vision
but nobody's paid much attention to them, not even the Buddhists or the Christians.
You humans... sometimes it's hard to imagine how you've made it this far.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
Gandhi
to err is human, to forgive divine
"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours."
"Intolerance is evidence of impotence."
"Live well. It is the greatest revenge."
"An unbridled passion for the total elimination of this or that evil can be as dangerous as any delusions of our time.
If you are looking for vengeance, be sure to dig two graves.
"To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils;
"To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it."
"When anger rises, think of the consequences."
"Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge."
"There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness."
"Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you."
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher."
"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."
