JIHAD: #AToZChallenge



It seems the whole world is bent 
on getting even for something, 
doesn't it?

“The only people 
who you should get even with 
are those who have helped you.”
John Southard 

"The best revenge is to live well." 
- Oscar Wilde



 Where is the survival benefit 
in feeling the need to get even?



 Life isn't a game, 
and simply getting even 
doesn't mean
 you've won the battle;
 it just means 
you've lost your self-respect.

 "For every minute you are angry 
you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”  
~Ralph Waldo Emerson




Brooding over an injustice 
only makes the event,
which took minutes,
possess weeks 
or years 
of 
our lives.


Let it go. 

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN
THE URGE TO GET EVEN
POSSESSES YOU?

  1. I think you are right either we should take action to rectify the situation when ot occurred. If we cant do anything about it then we should let it go! Your last quote os very right. To let go is difficult but important to move forward in life

    1. When we let go, we open the door to the cell to which our anger has confined us. May your pregnancy go ever better. :-)

  3. I like the Oscar Wilde quote :-) And as for getting even: I kill them off in my books ;-)
