Ever heard of the saying, "Tit for Tat"? We often associate this with negative emotions and with people who've done wrong to us, the ones who've hurt us. Oh, how much we feel like treating them the same way they treated us. After all, they should get a piece of their own shit to taste. Don't they?
I'm not much glad when I say this but yes I've been there and done that too. Hurting people who have hurt me, lying to those who've lied to me,trying to hate those who showed hatred towards me and what not. And you know what's the saddest part here? In all this chaos of trying to get even with people who didn't actually deserve my time, energy and efforts, I couldn't devote myself to appreciating the ones who were always there for me, standing beside me silently, behind the curtain, invisible but always holding my back in case I fell. When I realized this, I felt guilty of looking at those in front of me, with expecting eyes that yes they were there to catch me if I fell. But I didn't realise that when they left, as I fell backwards, there were the same people whom I haven't seen earlier, to catch me, prevent me from getting hurt.
So you see my point here is, let's start doing 'Tit for Tat' in a new fashion. Instead of applying it negatively with a revengeful motive, why not practice it with a kind & loving heart. Now, tell me would you start doing tit for tat with all those awesomely amazing people in your life? Will you start taking out time for those who take out time for you? Will you start being kind to those who are never unkind to you? Will you start being there for those who've never left your side? Will you start giving back some love to those who still love you? Will you return to those who're still waiting only for you? I hope you say Yes and then act upon it. I'll too. Let's make Tit for Tat seem like a good revenge instead of a cruel one. As in who'll love more? Care more? Be kind more? Be more non-judgemental and more accepting?
And for those who don't belong to your the 'Happy Tit for Tat list', leave them alone with their miseries. They can't help but being themselves. Their karmas must have already made some plans of Tit for Tat for them. So try not to bother and just be with the ones who are still there in your life ☺
