Worthless are those who injure others vengefully,
While those who stoically endure are like stored gold.
The gratification of the vengeful lasts only for a day,
But the glory of the forbearing lasts until the end of time.
Though unjustly aggrieved, it is best to suffer the suffering
And refrain from unrighteous retaliation.

While I agree that revenge is a worthless endeavor, and that meanness for the sake of meanness is tragic, stoic endurance is a paving stone on the road to neurosis, and the idea that there's glory in forbearance is something one clings to to get through the night.

I think the main point is really good. However, I don't like part about people being worthless. No one is worthless.

I am wondering where you got this from...
What is the Tirukkrual?
I like the quote but curious as to what this is of which it came from...

It's a good quote, but who is it from? I did a web search, and it didn't turn up. Is it your last name? :-)

It certainly is more inspirational than "Turn the other cheek"
