Dismissive reply. I hope that was just a part of my comment

I think it is a good way to keep people in check. I see what you mean about greed and envy though. It's a shame that it happens but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I don't think retribution should be reserved for criminals alone.

I'm someone who has always thought revenge to be a 'bad' thing, believing that when someone hurts you and you also hurt the person in return, then nothing makes you different from that person, because you both are a people, that hurt someone, but is this really true? Can/should it be called hurting someone, if they deserve it?

Now, as I keep growing and dealing with people, I'm starting to think my stance on revenge is flawed.

I think I'm beginning to see revenge for what it really is, justice. We often hear, "leave it to karma" some say "leave it for/to god"(this shouldn't be an option btw) but at the end of the day, we can't really say people get what they deserve, in that, bad things happen to good people and good things to bad people and for all I know, "bad" people seem to have it better than the "good" ones in this nonsense world, so should we fold our arms and let people who wronged us feel fly, while we feel miserable?

Someone will argue that, feeling hurt is more a thing of choice than consequence, asking, how can someone hurt you, if you don't want to be? Talking about how it is our minds that hold on to things, therefore we can condition it to let go or not, but is this really true? Do we have absolute control of what we feel? I think not.

Now if someone hurt me and I'm really feeling it, why shouldn't I validate this feeling by seeking revenge? I mean, don't we have a right to want to feel better? Does revenge make one feel better?


what's your take? Should we seek revenge or not? Lets discuss.

What is so disinteresting in trying to paint a picture of how the world is a place where many things don't really make sense? Like either of you have never felt "I don't really get it" at some point.

The world is a shity place, there, I said it, big whoop.

Seriously? You might want to learn writing properly in English first, before correcting others on grammar, which you obviously know nothing about.

NigerianScholar:

Instead of being defensive and trying to insult me.
Try defending your point if you feel you are correct




..
I said something wasn't grammatically correct. Which was my view. It would av been better if you had said that what you said wasnt wrong. Instead of presuming I cant write type in english properly .

Now. Please educate me and prove your point

I don't believe in revenge. I only enforce the golden rule.

Vengeance is for God. Jesus Christ said how many times will your brother offend you in a day, 70 x 7. so u see don't retaliate when someone offend you. Forgive and forget it. God will see you through in Jesus Christ Name Amen.

No matter what?
Not even if I killed your favourite stripper?.

missyadorable:



Well said.I am glad to know there is someone else who doesn't believe in karma

freecocoa:
Next time, humble yourself and ask questions, instead of assuming you know.

I don't owe you an education, especially not with the condescending attitude and I certainly have absolutely nothing to prove to you.

Go read a book or two, learn some manners and come talk to me, maybe then, we'll have something worth discussing.

Good day mister.

Timbuktou:


Olodo, I said I "enforce".

You wan kill my favorite stripper? Say your last prayer.

Decker:


Karma was created as a means of comfort for people who had been at the bitter end of evil deeds, and also, as an incentive to promote the act of good and not evil. It was also created as an alternative to revenge. Those who held firmly to their religious and moral codes which were against revenge, wanted desperately to believe that those who wronged them would face some sort of repercussion, even though they were forced to forgive them.

Karma is also a belief system upheld by those who weren't able to fight or face those who offended them, so they cowered under the believe in a non-existent supernatural force that would fight for them. Lol.

NigerianScholar, walai I wasn't going to reply you but I just had to say this.

Wait o, so you weren't even sure, nor know why you think the phrase is wrong, you had to rely on strangers in a whatsapp group, seriously this is your come back? How do you know, their answers can be relied on?

See the way you are even saying I should defend my point as if you are able to defend yours, Chai god!

I don't owe you anything my dear, you can keep letting whatsapp group be your brain.

u won't expect him to come down from above to deal with the person, the person might repent tomorrow then all his sins will be fgorgiven, u will stay hurt forever abi

Xiadnat:
Have a seat sir, you don't know everything. You go around throwing doctrines with certain assertiveness and air of confidence... that is almost concerning.

There is positive karma and there is negative karma. Are you telling me, you don't want good things to happen to you when you do good things to others. You don't want someone who murders your loved one to serve some form of justice?

"You reap what you sow"..... "karma"...."do unto others as you would like...." This principle is almost in every religious doctrine across culture. It's universal. Get use to it.

You actually need this principal in practice; humans need this principle in other to 'continue civilization and human decency'. This idea is for your own survival too, as it may be what is preventing your next door neighbor from absolutely decimating and torturing your arse.

Karma is real. It may not come when or how you expect it. Like air and gravity, you may not see it in a form, but it is there. It may come in a form of anything. Its existence is not up for debate. What may be up for debate is the 'when', 'how' and 'extent or degree' to which you experience karma.

The absence of the effects of karma is rather an exception- and this is when or what believers will say or call the GRACE or FAVOR of G-d that you get to escape the wrath (of G-d).


Karma on the contrary is not for the weak, but for the resilient. It takes a lot of inner strength to not go for revenge and retaliation or fight your way thru a lot of things.

So there......
