Punish because we have punished

Wrong, as I have always said, is fully human. The world in which we live requires us to live in relationships that are continually asking our attention, making it much more difficult maintain and preserve them. Consequently, this last fact leads us to more easily fall into situations where we are not up to the circumstances or we fail completely. Especially we are aware of them when the people we are referring to are family, friends, or our partner. In this sense the error, almost innate, can be seen from different perspectives: we can make mistakes with ourselves, with others or are the others who are wrong with us. In either case it would be beneficial to keep in mind that popular saying 'an eye for an eye and the whole world blind. "
When others disappoint or betray us we feel a great void that we are forced to repair. It is, then, the moment that before taking any decision would be good to ask ourselves: to what extent revenge or resentment is the way? It could be me who were in that situation in reverse? The consequences of a negative attitude is that it becomes our own ballast: violence begets violence, and revenge involves revenge, which they say. Never use something like revenge to ease your pain. Just wait. Those who hurt or do something wrong, often destroyed by themselves. An attitude of resentment and hatred has only one direction, therefore, and that is to do harm to our own person: the negative feelings are strengthened and are no solution. If all punish the mistakes of others, if we all lived under the guideline of 'eye for eye', never grow as people.
Surely we agree that people, for the simple fact of being, we were wrong. We all make mistakes and we all have ever seen in a frame of mind from which we thought we would know out. Even more than once we have taken the decision to operate under the rule of an eye for an eye '. Who has not ever hurt anyone? The big difference that makes us better people than us is the attitude we take in this regard. Never too late to apologize. Never too late to start again. It's never too late to say I was wrong.
Given these negative feelings are justice and forgiveness, between the lines, proposes Gandhi: Like when we're in the wrong place you urgently need the forgiveness of the other, when is the reverse must be able to forgive. A person is great when forgives, when understood, when placed in the place of another, when acting not agree with what they expect from it, but according to what he expects of herself. Educating with forgiveness to live is fundamental, even in the moments that surpass us. Oblivion and start from there learning, the possibility that we have to continue our life and understand errors; because only in this way others can overcome their own. Thus, expression eye for an eye and the world will be blind makes sense in the depths of human existence and its ability of self-observation. The world would be if we did not have the same ability to forgive err that would be very sad and would self-destruct.
It is understood, though sometimes it hurts, to punish punished because we have only ever leads to pain and happiness we must always look for. It is easy to ignore certain things, certain people, certain situations. People know not always perceive that something can hurt us, we have no radar, no alarm signal. We just trust, to get carried away. To live. If there is something we should also bear in mind it is that not only are outside many of the things that would need to ignore. Sometimes, it is also internal "that noise", these obsessive thoughts, these fears, these doubts, anxiety ... own enemies would be necessary to recognize and off. Therefore, we understand that sometimes can be very healthy practice the simple act of leaving behind what is not rich, not motivated, and that on the contrary, put walls in our personal growth and our happiness.
