The Cost of Revenge, Part Iv

I was so shocked but then I took stock of the look in my grandpa’s eyes, And understood that his word was good, that, in truth, he had almost died. Now he has passed, but the truth still lasts: betrayal has a heavy price. I tell you, son, do not be the one who’s caught stepping out on your wife. Don’t be untrue or you will undue whatever good in life you build. Don’t trust to rage, such unbridled hate will only leave you unfulfilled. It now makes sense why God claims vengeance, your whole life will it rend and break. To seek revenge leads to a bad end it’s a thing we should all forsake.
