RoughDraft: An Eye for an Eye

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. (Romans 12:17-19)

Honestly speaking, I feel like some people don't like me because I don't actually spend time pleasing them or befriending them. I don't know. It's just that, I'm not that kind of person and I don't want to be admired by them for simply acting to be somebody else. In my entire life, I've been in a few misunderstandings with different people, but unfortunately, this one's different. This situation is a little bit difficult and I believe, it will really take a very very long time before this issue will be settled. Why? Because this person I'm talking about never really liked me as a friend, or at least, as a person.

Habang tumatagal pala, nakakasawa. That's what I realized. I was very bitter that time and all I want to do is to take revenge as an exchange for all the pains and bad things that this person has done not only to me but also to other people. Later on, I noticed that I'm becoming tired of defending myself (or my friends) from the things she said against me/us. Indeed, if you know that you're not doing anything against anyone, there's no reason for you to be guilty or worried. As long as you are aware that you're not doing anything bad that will harm or offend others, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Guess I'm done with this. I know thinking about her and her attitude is unhealthy and just a waste of time. After all the prayers and self-talk I've done for the past months, I think I'm ready to move on and let go of the grudges I have in my heart. Now, every time that I'll find myself bitter, probably I'll just remind myself that I'm done with her and being bitter won't do me any good. I learned from her and I'm better now :)
