In Terms of Retaliation, People Are of Three Types:
In the world, people are of three types. The first are those who repay evil with evil and good with good. The majority of common people are like this. The second are those who repay even good with evil. These are the worst people, who possess the nature of a scorpion. Such people ultimately harm only themselves. Because of this evil nature, people hate them and try to stay away from them. The third are those who, when wronged, do not flare up but rather endure it. Later, they treat the wrongdoer with goodwill and kindness. And this is not child's play, but a task requiring great courage and a strong heart. Such an act can only be expected from someone who is highly determined and of lofty spirit. These people are the best of all. And these people ultimately succeed in their purpose.
