Revenge Is Not Sweet But Forgiveness Is

REVENGE IS NOT SWEET, BUT FORGIVENESS IS
If you say an eye for an eye,
Won't I turn blind?
If you say a tooth for a tooth,
How will I show my smile?
And if you say a punch for a punch,
Won't my face lose its shape?
Revenge is not sweet,
but forgiveness is.
Forgiveness:
Brings peace,
Brings only happiness,
Takes away all the stress,
Takes away all the pain
and make the world a better place again.
Life is too short to remain angry
You might as well end up crazy
Even end up being lazy,
to smile and laugh.
Revenge is not sweet,
but forgiveness is.
Smile and the world will smile back at you.
Love and the world will love you.
Forgive and the world will forgive you.
Be kind and be humble.
REVENGE IS NOT SWEET, BUT FORGIVENESS IS.
