REVENGE is a kind of wild justice...

“A man’s wisdom  gives him patience;  it is to his glory  to overlook an  offense."

(Proverbs 19:11)

Francis Bacon. (1561–1626).  Essays Civil and Moral. The Harvard Classics.  1909–14. IV Of Revenge

REVENGE is a kind of wild justice; which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out. For as for the first wrong, it doth but offend the law; but the revenge of that wrong putteth the law out of office. Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior; for it is a prince’s part to pardon. And Solomon, I am sure, saith, It is the glory of a man to pass by an offence. That which is past is gone, and irrevocable; and wise men have enough to do with things present and to come; therefore they do but trifle with themselves, that labor in past matters. There is no man doth a wrong for the wrong’s sake; but thereby to purchase himself profit, or pleasure, or honor, or the like. Therefore why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me? And if any man should do wrong merely out of ill-nature, why, yet it is but like the thorn or briar, which prick and scratch, because they can do no other. The most tolerable sort of revenge is for those wrongs which there is no law to remedy; but then let a man take heed the revenge be such as there is no law to punish; else a man’s enemy is still before hand, and it is two for one. Some, when they take revenge, are desirous the party should know whence it cometh. This is the more generous. For the delight seemeth to be not so much in doing the hurt as in making the party repent. But base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark. Cosmus, duke of Florence, had a desperate saying against perfidious or neglecting friends, as if those wrongs were unpardonable; You shall read (saith he) that we are commanded to forgive our enemies; but you never read that we are commanded to forgive our friends. But yet the spirit of Job was in a better tune: Shall we (saith he) take good at God’s hands, and not be content to take evil also? And so of friends in a proportion. This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well. Public revenges are for the most part fortunate; as that for the death of Cæsar; for the death of Pertinax; for the death of Henry the Third of France; and many more. But in private revenges it is not so. Nay rather, vindictive persons live the life of witches; who, as they are mischievous, so end they unfortunate.

What Can You Contribute to the World?

“To be creative means to be in love with life.

You can be creative 

only if you love life enough 

that you want to enhance its beauty,

you want to bring a little more music to it, 

a little more poetry to it, 

a little more dance to it.” 

~Osho

Talk About What Really Matters!

IMAGINATION VS. KNOWLEDGE

"Imagination is more powerful than knowledge. 

For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, 

while imagination embraces the entire world, 

and all there ever will be

to know and understand." 

~Albert Einstein

Inventions In Your Mind = Imagination At Work!

Imagination is not a talent of some men, 

but is the health of every man. 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
