The Fool And The Wise Man

by parker-blackwood

They say the fool seeks revenge And the wise man forgives and forgets But vengeance is protecting others from your fate It is being tortured and destroyed by another human being Caring and loving other people that you risk your own life to destroy the threat for them True vengeance is rarely for oneself The wise man forgives the sinner out of the good of his heart But he then forgets? Forgets all transgressions, betrayals, and pain The wise man lacks in morals for not letting justice prevail And handing over an evil thing back to the world back to the innocent The fool sees the sinner through the eyes of God Containing anger, pity, and vengeance for those who are the hurters The wise man sees the sinner through his own eyes Determining the fate of another by his own hand The wise man is a fool for ignoring evil And the fool is wise for destroying evil
