Re: an eye for an eye..
In 80-90% of cases the line below is the way to go:
"But whosoever forgives it (in the way of charity), it shall be expiation for him."
Most people in this world are quite stupid, hence the need for politicians to lie & decieve in order to keep the peace, many people make mistakes & don't learn from them i.e weak people, as long as they are not being malicious then it's your responsibility to forgive & try to teach the right way.
Dont get me wrong, those that keep pushing, who disregard your rights as a human being, opress, bully & those who are basically asking for it.......humour them & 'give it to them'.........those people do exist & don't deserve your mercy unless they change their actions by changing their thinking & not because they were forced too.
Thinking should always precede actions & not the other way round.
