Is Revenge Ever Justified?


No, revenge is never justified, at least not conducted or planned by the victim. as a Buddhist, is strongly believe that you will eventually endure the pain you give to others. And that has been proven true many times over in my life. I often found myself suffering the exactly same “tricky scenario” that I often inflicted upon others just awhile back. This does not necessary have to be based on religion however, pure logic can also prove that it is true, as long as you help others, people will not want to hurt or make your life miserable. Exerting revenge upon others is just dropping yourself to their level, and eventually it will cause a continual cycle of revenge between two individuals that never ends. As idealistic as that sound, however, due to my rash and short-tempered personality I often have trouble sticking to my beliefs. You do not need to conduct revenge on someone, eventually fate will do their job.

what is friendship?


Friendship is the bond that people share between each other that is positive. This means that there is lack of hostility between friends. Friends would also be welling to help their friend out as well, they will be willing to do a favor for their friend, even thought it requires a lot of work or something signig=ficant a friend must sacrifice. A friendship becomes stale and corrupt when one just abuses and takes advantage of another friend, buy exploiting and getting favor from another friend and does nothing in return; or when someone who just refuses to helpa friend because they are lazy. A decent friend will also not require to much of their friend, and would take time to listen to their friends complaint and provide positive feedback. In short, friends should not be only about the good things, like videogames and hanging out, but also helping each other at a time of need. Like the famous chinese quote, acholoic meat friends, which means they are only there for the pleasures and will retreat when you are in trouble, those are not the type of people you should hang out with.
