Before you decide to ragepost in the comments about how terrible either of these guys are, please take a moment and look at how happy they are. Wouldn’t this be a nice outcome for a change?

    I’m sorry you feel that way, but to tell you the truth, resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

    Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

    — Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha)

        You sure about that? Might want to look up the story of Angulimala before you go bragging about how much of a badass you are.

        The guy supposedly killed 999 people, cut off a finger of each of them, and made himself a chain to hang around his neck before he tried to kill the Buddha. What happens next will shock you…

          Yeah lolololol sure the guy who lived a sedentary life of contemplation as a nepotistic state official beat the guy who murdered 10 kumite 100 man lineups in a row. Such a stupid fiction.

            Your right, of course. All religious texts are fantasy fiction.

            They’re all silly. The Bible is no better. None of them are.

              Idk, I missed the part where Jesus used his carpentry kung-fu to destroy an enemy navy. They’re all shit and have varying levels of harm caused but if we’re voting on silly-ness then that Buddha story is a top ranked fable by a long shot.

        I imagine you’re furiously masturbating to the thought of having eked out a reaction from other people on an anonymous internet forum. Carry on being you, friend.

          No been there done that the important part is to see past revenge revenge without thinking of the after is meaningless getting revenge and then living it up is heaven × most people think revenge is bad because they can’t see past it and cant live separate from it

          I think we can both agree that keeping hate in your heart is a bad thing we just have different methods if dealing with it
