Don't Fight Back

When I was a boy, I used to work in a sport center. My job was to look after the target in the dart-shooting area. I had to pull out the darts after each game and get them ready for the next player. Sometimes I used to get annoyed at some men who would start a new game even before I had all the darts pulled out...and some of those sharp darts just missed my hand and even my head. And these throwers seemed to get a special delight out of scaring me, they often threw unusually fast.
I was not happy about this and so I consulted one of my teachers about it. He told me, "Sure, they are carelessly throwing those darts, but they don't mean to hurt you. It is nothing personal. That is just their way of blowing off steam when they are upset about something. In other words, they have a problem. But don't fight back. If you do, then you, too, have a problem!"
It's the same in life. When someone wrongs you, it is his or her problem. When you return evil for evil, then you have a problem, perhaps an even worse one, for your reaction was intentional.
