Fire burns everything that comes into its contact. But the heat of anger of a person burns only himself. If you hit the earth by your hand, it's only your hand that will suffer the pains. Your annoyance or irritation upon someone might disturb or hurt him, but it will certainly and firstly do more harm to you. Even if you feel justified in taking revenge against someone's misdeeds and even if you are mightier and capable of retaliating, you should better forgive. Because, your anger and arrogance would be worse (for you also) than whatever wrong one might have done (to you). As you might have experienced on several occasions, if one controls the wrath and maintain mental stability, most disputes or problems could be resolved peacefully and give you the content of mind, which you are dying for.
So what if you take revenge against someone's wrong against you? Every animal has this beastly instinct. Even a tiny ant can do that. Greater is the one who can forgive his enemies. Why don't you learn something from the earth? You dig it, plough it, but in return, it blesses you with crops, water, minerals and what not! Look at the piece of sugarcane! You cut it, press it, chew it, but it reacts by filling your mouth with sweet juice.
Those who have harmed you or committed crime against you are coward, weak, ignorant, because only those having a dormant conscience can do so. Why should you belittle yourself by responding back at their level? It does not suit an intrepid warrior to use weapons against the blinds or the slept ones.
Your act of revenge might sometimes, give temporary 'satisfaction' to your ego, but the joy induced by your act of forgiving would last for long.
Generous Like The Clouds
Stingy fellows, who keep their resources only to themselves and remain apathetic to others' sufferings, are in fact accounting sins for their future destiny. Those who have stocked heaps of wealth in their possession but never use it are mere 'guards' of money. Such fellows are burden on this earth that can do nothing for anyone. Even materialistically, they don't enjoy anything; the thirst of gaining more, the worries and tensions of safeguarding the possession and the miserly attitude do not let them live in peace; they neither eat well nor can give anything to others. Despite having millions or billions of riches, they remain poor, beggars … Thirst for more and more of selfish passions does not even let one see what are the right or wrong means of pilling the stocks of wealth. Prosperity earned by unfair means cannot let one prosper …. One dies empty handed and later one all that dead property possessed by him does no good to even to those who grabs it afterwards….
On the contrary those who earn honestly and spend magnanimously and wisely in good, constructive and auspicious activities are always prospering. They are like clouds, which eschewer generously; even if emptied today, the clouds are filled again and return back tomorrow with same dignity.
Integrity, benevolence, caring and helping sociability - are virtues of greatness, which can make the entire world your own. No one can forget the warmth of meeting such amicable personalities. But, the selfish fellows, howsoever talented and affluent they might be, remain aloof and virtually isolated; their state is like that of milk kept in a dirty pot, which is thrown without use….
