Dear fellow members,
As the title of the thread says, am I crazy because I don't take revenge?
No one is perfect, neither am I. But I'm very sad and disappointed at the moment, at some moments I get really angry for the unnecessary suffering they caused for me and others. I don't want to go into detail but several people have caused me a lot of trouble, tried to destroy my life and someone did some real horrible things like animal cruelty against my pets. My rights have been violated as well. There is no justice for me because the police and other government departments don't care.
Yet I don't feel like taking revenge and I hope that they get punished for it some day at a higher level.
Am I crazy?

Someone tried to remove all of my dog's teeth with a pair of pliers when he got loose. He bit the guys fingers after he pulled one out, and gave the dude something to remember. Make sure your dog is ready to defend him/herself as well as you.
Oh.. I didn't know that, I will change my whole life and way I think because you enlightened me, thanks for that!

Karma is complete made up bs and morals are subjective, in the sense that they merely mirror the zeitgeist of today's western society.
“Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive our hate; only love can do that. Hate multiples hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiples toughness in a descending spiral of destruction...
“Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality. Mindful that hate is an evil and dangerous force, we too often think of what it does to the person hated, This is understandable, for hate brings irreparable damage to its victims….But there is another side that we must never overlook. Hate is just as injurious to the person who hates. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
“A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.”
