Journal Entry #9: An eye for an eye

"An eye for an eye only ends up"

           Good morning, good evening, or afternoon, I am Resnera as you all may know by now. I have came across a lot of people around where i live, who thinks that revenge is the way to go by things. Well, it is an option, but not a good one at that. If you have not noticed by now as to the quote i used in today's Journal, please take time to read it. I have always been inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, a person who went about solving issues in a peaceful way. His quote i can truly live by, and i think others should live by it also.

            Revenge may seem as a good thing at the time, but trust me, i have shared my deeds in that section also. I am sure everyone had tried to get revenge at some point in there life. At first it feels good, then awesome, then , well in my case, it felt awful. I am not going in to depth as to what i did because it is in the past, and i already made up for my actions. If you go about your life attacking those who done you wrong, you will never live.

            You will be stuck in a never ending cat and mouse chase, your revenge will turn in to some one getting revenge on you, and so on.  So, why would you want to spend your life hating all the time? To waste moments of your life where you could be doing other things, such as, going on a vacation with family, and enjoying it. Or, having a good time with friends at the mall. Even if you did this while trying to get revenge on some one, that is all you will be thinking about.

           And you will not be able to have a good time with your mind dwelling upon that. I know it will be hard, but it is possible, just let go of the situation, forget about it. Or you can try to confront the person and tell them that you forgive them for what they did. Then you will be able to live your life. Trust me once you get that negative life draining creature of your chest you will feel a lot better.

          Even though you might not see it as a bad thing, that is fine. Everyone sees things in a different point of view, just let me address something first, going about things with Revenge in mind most likely won't turn out positive. So keep calm, and take a deep breath, and the next time someone has done something to hurt you, say to your self, will Revenge make this situation better? Then act upon that.

Revenge to me is like never growing up.
Someone always wants to be ahead of someone else.
It's like a race to be the best.

Like in your words everyone has their own point of view
That is so true.

Revenge is never the right answer, I always tell someone
that hurts me "God bless you" Sometimes it makes them
mad. I guess it's the word God that scares them I dk.

Nice Journal entry
