Summary

This quote suggests that the best way to retaliate against someone who has hurt us is by refusing to stoop to their level. Rather than seeking vengeance through the same negative actions, we should choose to be different. By responding with kindness, forgiveness, or personal growth, we not only distance ourselves from the person who caused harm but also demonstrate inner strength and maturity. This quote encourages us to overcome adversity by rising above it and refusing to engage in the cycle of negativity.
