His wife cheated on him and in divorce, she won quite a huge settlement. HE could not prove to the court that she was cheating. So she got the case in her favor. He was full of anger and he was full of feelings of revenge. He was depressed too. He stopped meeting new people, he stopped stepping out of home and finally, his family needed some professional help. When I spoke to him, he said that How is law of Karma working. I have suffered so much, she is happy and flourishing. It makes me further angry when I see her happy.
She did not look pretty as per worldly standards. But her father had lots of money. So she got married into a decent household in an arranged set up. Her mother in law never liked her. She wondered then why did they choose her. So finally, one day, her in laws asked her to leave home at 10 pm in the night. She went home but always waited for her in laws to go through problems.
So why do we desire that revenge?
Somewhere it tells us that we were right and the other person is wrong.When they suffer, we feel justice.
Agreed! Justice happens but who decides at what time in what ways? In the first scenario, that girl who looked so happy after divorce, married again. Even after 5 years of marriage she could not conceive and her second husband ended that relationship.
In the second scenario, after 15 years, her ex mother in law got paralysed and she was bed ridden for the rest of her life.
We have limited time and energy. We can wait for whatever long we want. But we also need to know that, in that limited time and energy, we can spend on waiting for others to get destroyed or we can spend that on improving our lives and standing up again. In a third scenario, a girl whose husband divorced her for another woman, immediately moved on. Internally she decided to forgive and surrender. After 7 years she was happily married, had a blossoming business and two children. After 10 years of that divorce, she got to know that he was kicked out of the job and he had to shift to a very small house in a small locality. His children were then studying in a local school.
Justice is always served but in what ways we never know. At what time we can never know. We can either waste our lives by waiting or we can use the time to stand up again.
Do not wait for others to suffer. make yourself better. It’s not your job to make others suffer. You focus on yourself and you will be far better in life.
