Would not one want to stay away from those types, as they may fall into the darkness as well?
Matthew 5:38-42
38 “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
39 But I say to you that you must not oppose those who want to hurt you. If people slap you on your right cheek, you must turn the left cheek to them as well.
40 When they wish to haul you to court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too.
41 When they force you to go one mile, go with them two.
42 Give to those who ask, and don’t refuse those who wish to borrow from you.

They say love can overcome darkness. But some people are just to way gone down the path of darkness. There's only so much love you can give someone before you will be dragged down with them if not carefull. You can try to help them but it takes them to want change and feel the light. people must be responsible for there own actions ultimately

in my relationships with people who were not nice to me, I have tried karma, eye for an eye, mind games, etc.etc., but they all make me feel bad, sure you may get someone back, but the feeling is not good deep down inside...I have learned that all I can do is just love...doing so, being so I feel my best..
it's all vibration/frequency, it really is...emotions are energy..

I apologize,for I have not read all your responses, Cornupopia.
But I want to say that I wish so much that you are right. I had an experience today where someone very important to me hit me, not the first time, either....
that's not really the point. The point is I have turned the other cheek all my life--never struck back. That isn't to say I am beter....it is simply what I lived by, and it is not in me to strike back, no matter the pain.
I have faith that this matters, that we will all be saved by this. and I read your threads and hope for that, to no end, not for myself, but for all of us that suffer.
Thanks for giving me sometimes what I need to read.

I'm just afraid that it's all hovering around me like a plague of some sort. To be fair, I do warn some people when they start moving in a negative direction to take a moment and consider the possible costs of taking me on like that. Like I said, whatever it is, it's aggressive and extremely dispassionate about doing what it does. And it's become extremely thorough in recent years. To be honest, it's really creeped me out at times.edit on 5/15/2013 by NorEaster because: (no reason given)
