Forgiveness or Revenge?
In the face of offense, is it more noble to believe in gut emotions and attempt honest revenge? Or follow spiritual precepts and work out a grudging forgiveness, full of inner grumbling?
If we avenge the offenses that are addressed to us, or if we forgive them, or if by chance they are indifferent to us, in any case it will be in the face of offenses that we will truly know ourselves, without needing self-help books or even expensive workshops in paradisiacal retreats .
If forgiveness is mean enough to be done against our will, would it seem more honest to elaborate a revenge strategy, even though we are aware that in this way we break the rules of spiritual ethics, or is it that by outsourcing revenge and calling it the Law of Return, we can forgive and be avenged at the same time?
