Do you agree to the sentiment that you take an eye for an eye?

[MoonFace2]

In other words, are you someone who believes in payback? Why or why not?

[bowenw]

It depends on the circumstances. I find karma usually finds a way of dealing with evil people.

[MoonFace2]

Me too

[bowenw]

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

[NathanDavis]

nope... I try NOT to justify my own wrong doing on the wrong doing of others...

[MoonFace2]

I’m mostly the same. I’ll stand up for myself if I need to and set boundaries; but I’d rather avoid conflict than deal with drama.

[MoonFace2]

For instance, there was this guy I’ll call *Derek* who was trying to bully myself and my friend, who I’ll call *Jack.*. He got meaner and ruder, making uncalled for personal attacks online about my reputation; because I’d mentioned that I was busy going on a date; and insulting Jack because he was jealous that Jack won a first prize in a competition that he lost. I stayed quiet and nice, until he’d undone himself with his own maliciousness, then said’ ‘See? He’s a troublemaker.’ He claimed that no one got his sense of humour after that lol.

The only thing I'd go an eye for an eye is for family, if someone murders any of my family I will make sure that I leave a knife in their eye with my prints on it, Ill want the world to know who did it and ill do that time, god knows my heart so god knows ill fail him at that point, ill accept my consequences and maybe that prison time will do me good and ill grow some form of remorse but I doubt it, I'd most likely repent to god that I failed him but not that the bastard is dead, that's just the facts, God knows I'm not lying, no point of denying it.

[MoonFace2]

I totally get that. I don’t know however if I could harm anyone to that degree, regardless. I don’t have the stomach for it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I know I do, either ways I think that situation can create so much anger that anyone probably would

[Dongie]

I hear you. That's a tough one to contemplate.

[UnusualWeirdo]

Yes and no, it depends on the situation, I can handle shit happening to me and brushing it off, sure I'll fantasize about revenge but won't ever do it. But it does depend on the situation, something really bad and I just might do something. As were if you mess with my sister I don't care if it's a rude comment or just bumping into her without saying sorry I'll say something back or do worse, you don't mess with my family.

[MoonFace2]

That’s reasonable 😊

[NaultD]

The saying is not advocating what the minimum default retaliation should be but a maximum limitation to any retaliation. It's a saying of restraining yourself even with how hard it hurts. Going beyond good and evil understanding and accepting we as individuals have no enemies.

So with that in mind it's off the charts awe inspiring. Someone should Write a book about it.

[sawno]

No, I rather destroy evil rather than keep it going. Sometimes you just need to take a loss so everyone can heal.

[joehypo1]

I believe that karma is real so i dont need revenge karma will make then pay

[mandyfire98]

I'm Italian and Irish/Dutch. I definitely believe in payback lol.

[exitseven]

I do believe in payback. I usually take the eye and break their kneecaps for good measure.

[Adana01]

I want to see eye to eye with a woman I can love at any time...

[MoonFace2]

I think that’s reasonable 😊

[Adana01]

Thank you, beautiful heart..

[MoonFace2]

You’re welcome. So, see eye to eye… what would be most important to agree on for you?

[Adana01]

There would be mutual love, understanding and respect. with love...☕️ ☕️

[MoonFace2]

All of that is very important, both respect for and from both parties.

[MoonFace2]

I value kindness and intelligence

[Adana01]

Yes, it's nice when the love and respect are mutual...

[MoonFace2]

You’re right. It’s so important.

[Adana01]

Thank you. when two hearts become one body, love becomes eternal...

[MoonFace2]

Yeah, I guess so, when you meet The One.

[Adana01]

yes...

[Anonymous]

I used to think so, but not any more.

Karmically speaking, it's better to forgive if people who did you wrong apologize.

Even if they don't, it's better for your Karma to forgive them.

[Dongie]

No. That's the old testament. Jesus says pray for them.

[DrPepper12]

No. Let karma take care of that shit and then I'll enjoy my shadenfreude. Vengeance alone isn't justice.
