Peace of Mind

Revenge only leads to
            Regret

  Rather than a moment 
        of Satisfaction

   Choose Peace of Mind
        Say ~ Not Yet

Rightly said....! It is forgiveness that assures peace of mind and not vengeance. !

An excellent advise to take caution before action. A cold shower might help!...ab

Really appreciate you taking time to view and comment on this, Paris-Maree. One reason I wrote this was to spur myself to always stop, wait, and say 'Not yet' whenever I have revenge in mind. Because once the ardor cools, so does the need for revenge. ~ Un-fanning the Flames
