REVENGE AND HOW IT HURTS US MORE
Why should I not take revenge?
Revenge seems to be a natural response to injustice that seems to target us. This is what we do and have been doing since inception.
Did we think for a moment that why should we alone be targeted for good or bad, in a billion strong population?
Did we stop a moment an think why only a few hundreds or thousands are affected in a natural disaster and not all?
Did we pause to ponder that when millions are driving on the roads, why only a few are involved and get seriously hurt in accidents?
Why do people cause grievous hurt to themselves and others for no apparent reason?
To understand this, we need to understand that there are multiple levels of consciousness in nature.
Nature by its nature, cannot do us any harm by itself. It is designed to be protective of us. And, it is in constant communication with us telling us to do a certain thing or not to proceed with a certain thing. But, as with any case of modern communication, it is not enough that the transmitting cell is working. If the communication is to be complete, the receiver cell also has to be working 100%, otherwise the message is not received well at the receiver's end.
It is the same case with nature. Nature communicates with us in many ways, wanting to help us all irrespective of the goodness, badness or neutrality of our activities. That is the nature of nature or the cosmos; it is full of benevolence.
But, what happens is that based on our past and present actions, some of our antennae or receptors are blocked and/or faulty. In such cases, we are not in a position to receive messages from the cosmos. When this happens, we are prone to error and one such error cascades into a series of errors culminating ultimately in sorrow. This may be related to health, family, business and other activities.
To regain control of our life, now and beyond, we need to follow the nature of nature. We need to change ourselves to mimic nature. Nature is not partial. Whatever is in nature is for everyone of us. Nature does not hurt anyone. Whatever is in nature is for the benefit of not just humanity, but for all beings in nature.

What happens when we take revenge?
Revenge is an action that is against nature. In fact, any reaction is an unnatural action. We can be pro-active, but not reactive. Reaction is a destructive mechanism. So, reaction is better avoided. Let action pass through us as if it did not happen. Or, it can be tackled gently without violence.
When it gets to a stage where somebody will get hurt, we should never go for it.
When we hurt somebody, in whatever little of big way, it gets registered in our memory. It is like taking a loan. The loan amount and the repayment amount including interest is instantly recorded. At the right time and right place, we will be repaying the amount. There is no escape.
When we keep doing hurt on others, the ability of our body to lock on to the frequency of nature's helping wavelength is affected. For some it is less and for others it is affected more.

Revenge affects us in small ways and big ways.
We all are aware that incidents happen in a fraction of a moment. If one of the participant is late even by a moment, then that incident does not happen.
Take for example, we are following a bus. The bus suddenly takes a turn and blocks our path. As we are cursing the bus driver, from the bus gets down our friend whom we have not seen in decades.
We would have missed her if we had started a bit late or early. If we had started early, we would have passed the bus and had we been late, the bus would have passed us. This small happiness is the result of a good deed in the past.
In the same manner, somebody is pushing the bike to the nearest petrol pump, in the middle of the night. There are many things that could happen here. Another biker, or an autorickshaw, could stop by and tow you to the nearest petrol station.
Or, some thief on his way home, could stop and rob your purse, leaving you in further distress.
At the end of it all, we attribute it to good or bad luck. But, that is not the case. It is because, we are not in control of our such memory; we have no recall of the past.
We have to understand that whatever happens, is deemed to happen. But, whatever will happen in the future, is in our hands.
So, beginning now, forget that revenge.
