In taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that seeking revenge may be a way for someone to claim equality or a sense of justice against their enemy. However, it suggests that the superior response lies in disregarding the desire for revenge altogether. By choosing not to retaliate, a person demonstrates a higher level of maturity, strength, and moral superiority. Instead of perpetuating a cycle of negativity and harm, they rise above the conflict, focusing on personal growth and breaking free from the destructive cycle of revenge.
