Some years ago, in Africa, a group of inhabitants of a certain region was crossing a road when one was hit by a car and died. The driver fled into a run.
The survivors went in pursuit but could not reach it.
Returning to the scene of the accident, the bereaved group expressed their grief, their anger and frustration with loud cries and wild gesticulations. Instead of continuing the journey, began a vigil beside the body of their deceased partner.
Later that day, the guilty driver returned the same way. Recognizing his car, the mourners threw stones at the vehicle, and marksmanship. This time the criminal had to stop. The windshield was so shattered, that prevented the view of the road. The guards then started to smash the windows of the car. Luckily the driver managed to lock the doors; otherwise he would have been killed.
Who were the avengers? A bunch of baboons!
Although some may argue that the life of a baboon cannot be compared with the life of a human being, who can deny that - from the perspective of a baboon, at least - the runaway driver did not receive the punishment he deserved well?
I did not get the story.
ReplyDeleteWhat rosane want to say? Please clearify
What I've tryed to say through the story is:
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that revanche is the best way to solve problems even if you feel injustice. As human beings we can't act as animals, by instinct, only.
Baboons don't think, but human beings do. We must learn how to forgive to be able to go on, without keepping mournering over something.
The actitude of mournering will prevent us from moving on and find the good things life reserves for all of us.
Thanks Rosane...
