Getting Even
Getting Even
Vengeance is sweet.
Is it really?
It tastes pretty sour to me.
An eye for an eye.
Ok, so now both of you have only one eye.
What does that prove.
Revenge is like eating poison and waiting for the other person to die.
This is the best way to describe getting even.
It can be sheer suicide.
Vengeance is a dish best served cold.
I don’t like my food cold in most cases.
So, it doesn’t sound good to me.
With age comes wisdom.
I am old, so I hope I have enough
wisdom not to eat poison or cold food
or lose an eye taking an eye.
