Sometimes we can get caught up in roles of victim and villain. We're hurt by someone, making us a victim and them a villain, but then we "get back" at them and they become the victim and we're the villain. No one wants to be the one to end the "war" because we think it will trap us as the victim. But, revenge just creates revenge and the hurt never ends, but if you just forgive them and yourself, you can move on with your life and never be that victim or villain again. (painting by @Mission)
