Mercy

When wronged, the heart burns for revenge – but vengeance only doubles the bitterness.
To forgive is to pour cool water over flames.
It is the wise who mend a broken friendship while the foolish cling to pride.
Justice does not forbid mercy: punish when you must, but do not let hatred poison you.
By showing mercy to others, you heal your own soul.
The one who forgives carries a lighter heart and walks closer to Ma’at.
