Every day, we get hurt by People whether intentionally or unintentionally. They could be our friends, foes or even family members. No matter how hard we try, we can not escape being hurt by People every once in a while. But what’s important is how we respond when we find ourselves in such situations.
A lot of people like going by the saying “ An eye for an eye”, some say “do me I do you” meaning that “if you hurt me, I hurt you right back! But if we think deeply, we will find out that there’s more to life than taking revenge. When you take revenge, you bring yourself to the level of your offender and that portrays you as being weak and immature.
Check out this quote from Mahatma Gandhi….” An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind”. Imagine that we all take revenge on everyone that hurts us, the world would have gone bizarre by now. Everything will be upside down by now.
But you see, the beauty of life is the ups and downs, the good and bad, the right and the wrong. We find joy and fulfillment when we are part of the ones that stay on the right path to ensure that the world is not destroyed by the evildoers.
Which path would you rather be on?

Truth, we can love each other, without hurting or treat them just as they treat us.
With the way the world has gone sour, evil has become the order of the day. Every body eye done tear I choose to be on the good path, spreading love and light always. So help me God
