Knowing people will not esteem the vengeful one,But they will value forbearance as gold.
People of discernment will hold in great esteem those who are capable of forgiving and forgetting a wrong done to them; on the other hand they will not give any credit to the person who practises vengeance.
It was no wonder, therefore, that Shakespeare himself said 'The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance'. Francis Bacon, to whom some people would attribute the works of Shakespeare, also said, 'In taking revenge a man is equal to his enemy, but in passing it over he is his superior'.
The
Lord,
Jesus
said
'Ye
have
heard
that
it
has
been
said,
'An
eye
for
an
eye
and
tooth
for
a
tooth'.
But
I
say
unto
you.
That
Ye
resist
not
evil;
but
whosoever
shall
smite
thee
on
thy
right
cheek,
turn
to
him
the
other
also'.
(Matt
6:
38-39)
And he went on to add that loving your enemies, blessing them that curse you and doing good to them that hate you is the way of the Father (i.e.) of Godliness. Here again the difference with Valluvar is that he proceeds with his practical dictums from a purely rational angle, detached from any religious linkage.
