It is good not to retort,
if we can,
for retort we resort to
when we are hurt.
When we retort
we loose an opportunity
to be magnanimous.
Hurt is like a relay.
We kind of pass on the baton.
Or, shall we say,
it is like a chain reaction
of non-tolerance.
Many know how dangerous it can be
when a platoon of troops march in unision on a bridge.
Intolerance is like that.
The cumulative effect is chaos
we see in society
from time to time.
Never mind though.
If we are not consciously practising the tenet of no-retort,
a Mahavir, a Buddha, a Christ
will surely descent on the earth
and cleanse the system from time to time.
But why wait?
Let us try it out ourselves
and experience the bliss!
