Memorial Day weekend is the true start of summer and for me, it couldn't come soon enough. I thrive in warm weather and sunny days. Winter will soon be a distant memory as spring gives way to summer and the days slowly heat up.
Sunshine is the revenge for the brutal winter that just past. Today's quote is "An act of vengeance will end well for no one." Summer is really not winter's revenge. It is the proper order of things, nature in this case. Vengeance is menacing word. The actual meaning of the word is revenge or payback.
"Revenge is sweet," "payback's a bitch." I think these are awful phrases yet there are those who delight in them and look forward to how they can hurt someone who has hurt them. What we all need to understand is that an act of retribution will only cause further pain and suffering.
Inflicting pain upon another whether intentional or unintentional is upsetting but rather than getting back at someone, we need to understand where it comes from and why. Some of you reading this might be thinking back to a time where you were hurt and that I couldn't possibly understand how you feel but you would be wrong.
If a sincere apology was offered then let it go. How can you seek retaliation from someone who displays sincere regret? To seek revenge or to be vengeful shows a disturbing amount of anger and even after retribution that person will still be consumed with hate and fury.
If you are of sound mind, know that vengeance is never sweet, understanding is sweeter.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone whatever you have planned! I will be back with a new blog on Tuesday as I too will be enjoying these next 3 days.
Have a great Friday!~Love, Amy
