Heroism

It's an almost romantic tail. The hero is taken by the villain. The knights of the round search frantically for their missing comrade. Meanwhile our hero finds himself tortured and beaten by the villainous evil-doer. Ultimately the villain goes to kill our hero, but our hero, now free of the bonds that held him but supposedly broken, finds the strength to fight back against his tormentor. This leads to our hero ultimately shooting our villain, just as the knight of the round arrive. A pretty story that shows justice being carried out. Don't we all wish we could kill those who torture us in our daily lives, at least once in a while? Unfortunately it cannot be so.

However the world would be a much sadder place if we were all hell bent on revenge. We would spend our lives looking over our shoulders, wondering if that one mistake we made would come back to bite us and lead to our untimely demise. Most of the time it's easier to just forgive and if not forgive then forget. But sometimes, just sometimes it's too hard to forget. There are some people's who's cruel remarks or crueler actions stick with you forever and you just don't know how to let go.
