Do Not Justify Revenge
Renny Yagosesky, "The Message of the Sages" ("El Mensaje de los Sabios")
Revenge
is a form of negating Universal Law.
It
is as wanting to see you well on a broken mirror.
It
is an act of desperation of ego.
It
is karmic irresponsibility.
It
is a worn out version of the game of good versus evil.
It
is turning you into innocent so other becomes guilty.
Do not
justify revenge.
Neither
when it is disguised as justice.
There
is no merit in doing harm,
Nor
there is any in returning it.
Do
not forget that everything has a reason for being.
Nobody
has more of what he deserves or needs.
Do not
justify revenge.
Avoid
hurt by others, but do not originate suffering.
If
you never returned gratitude to those that helped you,
Why now destroying
those you say have hurt you?
Perhaps
you look for guilty ones when you are happy?
Are
you urged to reward those who smile at you?
Then do not act as punishing judge.
Do not
justify revenge.
The
affronts are cosmic opportunities to learn to forgive,
Baits
to test if love "bites" or hate "bites",
Necessary
blows to self-importance,
Karmic
debts in time to collect.
Do not
justify revenge.
Things
happen for reasons that we not always can know.
Do
not believe in vengeance that dresses as justice.
Since
you do not reward love, neither punish hate.
Do
not act as if you were the judge of others.
All
affront is opportunity to forgive.
