"He who abuses his abuser is the worse of the two. To refrain from retaliation is to win a battle hard to win. If one knows that the other person is angry but refrains from anger oneself, one does what is best for oneself and the other person also. One is a healer of both"
Thank you for your thoughts

my sentiments exactly
if one can see the pain and torment in the abuser .. show some compassion instead of hate .. try to walk in their shoes ...
you have won a friend not an enemy xx

I agree, but one who has been abuse, sometimes can't help to do the same, and it has nothing to do with refraining, and is a learned behavior.

Yeah, sounds good to me too. It's like what Jesus said. Just turn and walk away from your enemies, or those who hurt you. Don't get revenge, He will avenge you with justice, which is good for both people.

Although some of what you type is admirable I agree, I must say that I cannot agree with the ideals of Buddhism...Prayers =)
