– Eleanor Roosevelt
To provide love and caring is superior too avenging wrong doing.
To prevent misery is an act of kindness. An act of love. A bringing of light into the darkness.
To avenge is as dark as the deed being avenged. Vengeance can never bring peace, only more to avenge.
Of course when we avenge, we make someone else wrong which in turn makes US "right" which reinforces that whole separation thing. I'm right, you're wrong. I'm good, you're bad. I am caring, you are selfish.
Better to share the peace and love and let everyone know that they're right and empower them to see it too than to allow the suffering first in order to stroke our ego later by defending.
