You’re best friends with someone who is vengeful and malicious.
Someone whose thirst for vengeance is out of control, whose malice you’ve always supported and sometimes stoked, whose cravings for revenge you have many times been complicit to.
And at some point, you both fall out.
Then you go about your life like there’s nothing; nothing to worry about, nothing to be scared about, no precautionary measure to be taken.
You’re a fool!
The fire you contributed in stoking has gone wild and like a boomerang return to haunt you.
Because for everyone you meet on your journey, there’s a purpose.
No encounter as you meander through the vast terrain of your earthly journey is by mistake.
Everyone embodies a vice, each person’s different from the next.
So when you meet a malicious person, try to change or teach them the virtue of reconciliation; don’t aid or abet it.
When you become friends or close to someone whose nature is vindictiveness, try to make them inculcate the virtue of letting go; don’t stoke or fuel it.
For a vengeful person, one whose soul is already engulfed by this vice and character trait will come back to haunt an assailant or perceived foe — sibling, best friend or estranged spouse.
God is not an idio.t to not have created you alone, leave an imprint of your virtue on another’s vice.
Selah.
