An eye for an eye, what for?

Hey guys!

Thanks for your continuous support, every time you click my link, I cry a bit. HAHA! 

Though I might be joking about the crying part, I'm really thankful for coming back, and I know what you guys are thinking:

Calm down! I've been so busy the past few weeks with my studies, that I didn't have time for anything! Sad me right? HAHA! 

However, I am really sorry for the lousy excuse. Now without any further delay, let's move on!

First of all, I made a promise of showing tweets of my readers that answered my question.

Well, the winner is Rui Yang!

He is no stranger to me, he's my classmate and a bro of mine. He's the winner since he's the only one that answered my question! Though I am a bit demoralized, I'm also encouraged by it too. To me, it shows their support in my blog. Thanks Man! Feel free to follow him on @PoasmPower!

Well the topic for this entry is one that I have a mixed feeling for. An eye for an eye. 

A part of me is strongly against it, but another part of me agrees with it. 

One of my friends being sort of the leader in my group of friends, had sort of an impact on me. 

Whenever there was some sort of action against him, he would repay the same action. For example, if we punched him as joke, he would punched us back. Though it was meant as a joke, I took that principle and apply it to my life. ( I was a stupid teenager. )

Ever since then, whenever someone did things that were nasty to me, I would make sure to repay it. 

Revenge.

That feeling of seeing someone that caused you pain to feel that pain was so good. ( Sadistic me, HAHA! )

BTW, I am a Christian, I love Jesus, and the Bible stated these two verses. 

Exodus 21: 24-25

So there's no wrong in revenge right? 

WAIT!!

Before I get any angry emails, you have to hear the full story. 

I thought about the verses and I concur to it, but recently, I realized how wrong I was. 

Before trolls goes," Hey, Jasper says the Bible is wrong. ", that's not what I mean.

When God said this, He meant it as, "what goes around, comes around." The whole chapter was about when one does evil, God Himself will take care of it, so that if someone took your eyes, God will allow some incidents to happen to that man. 

I know it starts to feel a bit too biblical for some, please stay, because I'm using the bible in order to bring out a point here. ( PLEASE PLEASE STAY! T.T )

Recently, someone made my life miserable, he took away what meant the world to me. I was so angry, I was so hungry for revenge ( and pizza. HAHA! ), I was analyzing what is important to him, what is his weakness and I was torturing him. ( Remember i am sadistic? )

Then I had this dream. 

Before i continue, dreams to Christians are sort of a God's way to communicate with us. 

In this dream, I was having a fight with him, I was dominating, but I recall he choking me, I felt breathless, weak and powerless. 

I was very puzzled by this dream, then when I was doing some " Research " on him, I had a revelation. I understood what was wrong with me. 

Thus, i bring another part of Bible verses, Matthew 5: 38-42.

Basically, this part is about Jesus telling us when someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn and let him slap the other cheek. 

Sounds stupid right? I thought so too when I first heard these verses years ago. 

However, i understand this part now. 

Jesus said this not in a literal sense, but what He means is that when someone hurts you, don't take revenge, instead, let him continue. 

Doesn't that result in him becoming more and more of a bully? But when if you pay him back whatever he gave you, will there be an end? 

So what if you win this time? 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that when someone hurts you, let him. 'Cause if you return the favors, there will be no end. You would end up focusing yourself on revenge and forget those that matters to you. 

Whatever the case, I gave up the thought of revenge and I'm much happy now. I can focus more on those that matters to me, like my Mum, my friends, my God. 

I know some of you might be in such scenarios, but hang in there or just feel free to talk to me through any social  websites!
