Is It An Eye For An Eye

Do you do things bad when somebody does bad things to you?
Do you give an eye for an eye?
At the moment, it seems like the logical thing to do
But for the long run, you don't want to do that
You don't want that evil thing that you do 
to get back to you
Oh yeah it will get back to you
It's like a rubber band
When you shoot when pulling
does it come back to you?
Oh yeah because we are like a circle
Anything we do will come back to us
Watch it
But does it mean you are always nice and easy?
No you can tell that to me
I am never nice and easy
Just kidding lol
But just do whatever you feel like it
Just don't do an eye for an eye
Isn't that what the Bible said?
Yeah but God also said 
Galatians 6:10 "so then, as we have opportunity,
let us do good to everyone..."
Ephesians 4:32 "be kind to one another, tenderhearted 
forgive one another, as God in Christ forgave you"
And "be angry and do not sin..." (Ephesians 4:26)
So you see it does not mean that you can't be angry
It does not mean that you don't want revenge
But check yourself
Are you better than that?
Do you stoop to that level?
No
So just do the good things
And everything turns out just fine
Did I tell you 
that I want to....?
Haha, not going to tell you
