Being deluded by someone can be one of the worst feelings in the world, and the first thing that comes to our mind after being deceived is to strike back at the beguiler. However, the odds of getting even with someone may not be very high every time. Retaliating can take away our peace of mind, even if we successfully get even. In today's world, we may often feel provoked to avenge the bad we received. It may make us feel weak and helpless if we do not fight back. Sometimes, we may resolve to fight back to seek justice, to teach the other person a lesson, to compete professionally, to prove it to ourselves that we are not weak, to show it to the world that we still have the fire left in us, and to prove innumerable other points. Nevertheless, proving our point only makes sense unless we do not lose our heartsease.
Professionally speaking, it is good that we compete in the healthy environment of a contest. We often have occupational rivals and it is great to have neat or not-so-neat odds of getting even with them. When we have healthy competitors in the industry to fight with, nothing seems better settling the scores with them in the work environment within the limits of work ethics.
The saying goes perfectly well in this context, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going". Equalizing with people has its own merits if done in proper conditions. It makes us sturdier and mightier. However, we should always know where to stop. Settling scores is not always a great idea when it ruins us spiritually. It shows that we lack spiritual foresight.
In the nutshell, the odds of getting even are always greater when we are aware of our limits and our goals, both professionally and personally. We can always give better answers to others when we can answer our inner self.
