Peace & Forgiveness

Its been said that a life well lived is your best revenge but is that really true? Aren’t there times when getting even just serves you better?

One must be at peace within their inner self before they can try to be at peace with others. Feel good about what you believe in and respect others and the rest seems to look after itself.

In the short term, it can be. There's not much harm in petty revenge for petty acts, especially if it's someone you know really well. The key is to not take it too far, you don't want to lose that special person to you over petty squabbles.

"Getting even" is not ever the best option. If someone treats you badly, a life well lived IS the best revenge. Your continued kindness after being wronged will make them feel guilty for treating you badly. It heaps "burning coals" on them.

I agree with my lovely wife Joanne. Karma is a real b---h. As I've gotten older, one comes to realize that you must pick your battles and appreciate that there are all kinds of wonderful people in this wonderful world.

Getting even takes too much negative energy and though you may feel satisfied temporarily, in the end there is no benefit. Besides, karma usually takes care of things anyway!!!!! I prefer to focus on positive things.

Revenge is an age old concept. It is spiteful, hateful, humanunconsciousness at the extreme and has been the cause of many wars and extreme sadness worldwide. Try Peace, Love and Forgiveness lest we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

We have a choice everyday when we wake up. Will today be good or bad - you're choice. I choose to have a good day everyday in spite of what is thrown at me.

You have no control over what others say or do. What you can control is your reaction to any situation. If you learn to forgive and move on I guarantee it will lead to more peace and happiness. Can't say the same for the offender.

No.. sorry, effort given to get even is energy wasted and given to the person you are attempting to overcome. If you know it was wrong, you know they weren't right.

I know it feels like I want to get revenge at times, but in the end I know this is just hurting myself. Freedom comes with forgiveness, not revenge.

Getting even may feel like a nice thing in the moment but if you can step back and accept what has happened and move on that will give you real lasting peace. Its exhausting to carry a grudge!

Never! The old Ego would love you to believe that.
