Revenge

Earlier this week, my mother told me a story of a co-worker (Jane) who introduced another co-worker (Sally)to her husband (Rick), and to make a long story short, as Rick and Jane were going through relationship problems that would lead to a divorce, Sally and Rick would later have a fling soon after the divorce. Jane and Sally would have to see each other everyday at work, no longer friends. Jane is deeply hurt, and I told my mother to tell Sally that the best revenge is moving forward, doing better and  forgiving and then forgetting about those that hurt you. It takes time, but I know from experience that when people hurt you they are not thinking about you, they are thinking about themselves, so sometimes they don't even know or care about your pain. It is not until someone hurts them the same way, that they even realize what they did, if they realize it at all. But, you can't dwell in it, that experience is just part of your story and everyone has a story. But whether you choose to make it a story that focuses on the tragedies or triumphs that's a matter totally up to each person living through the experience.
