Two Reasons ‘Not’ to Get Even
by Be a soul of life that lets love multiply.
“it matters which role you are”
You will never be done getting even.
Hate and Love are not the same but are alike night and day, up and down, war and peace. Please take notice how these couplets are opposing one another. Yes opposites. But there is however a unique element these opposites have a common bond these couplets share; to say it simply they eliminate each other. Each cannot be while the other is present. Revenge is hurtful and if we make a distinct agreement that our pain will never subside until we cause those who hurt us- to hurt, understand, or feel what we felt we will not eliminate hurt. Hate cannot eliminate hate, and Love cannot eliminate love. Night cannot eliminate night and day cannot eliminate day, and so on…
The truth is getting even will not help you feel better;
Getting even doesn’t make you feel better. Getting Even with hurt is a part of hurt and cannot eliminate hurt.
Getting even will not take away the hurt you have experienced. It is wise to seek choices that assist you in arriving at the destination you truly desire to arrive at, and that is to not hurt.
Here is a physical example. If I were to ask you to pinch your own arm would you? ..if you would, would you let go when it began to hurt? I hope so and I hope you know why you would let go.
If you find yourself in an experience that is hurting you it is best to let go of the experience. Seek to surround yourself with people who add more love into your experiences.
“Keep away from those who seek to harm you”
In summary the truth still remains I don’t know why we experience hurt, perhaps it’s for reasons as simple as “we as a human race have not yet experienced the consequences on a world wide scale of hurt or love”. We as a human race stand divided with those who hurt and those who do the hurting. We need more willing to love and do the loving.
Maybe then we would realize Love can eliminate hate by letting go of it, and Love cannot ever be even with hate.

I like your ideas about trying to avoid hurt. I wish it could be easy, but it isn’t. Hurt plays a huge role in life. Without hurt, would be similar to being blind. Blindness causes a lack of secure direction. Hurt is a mechanism to learn from. We all heard that touching a hot stove will prevent you from touching it again. Hurt, physically or mentally is supposed to keep us from making the same mistakes over and over. The problem is because we have emotions, many of us cannot learn from hurt or refuse to learn from it.

Very cogent viewpoint. “Getting even” just let’s us feel ugly inside. There are lots of kinds of hurt in the world that we cannot prevent; there is no need to add to that hurt. Pain is a device to tell us to stop doing whatever it is we are doing; but I agree, some of it makes no sense whatsoever. Guess that means we don’t know everything?
