以得報怨

Have you heard of 以得報怨? Do you know what it means?

I was listening to the radio and a woman told her experience where a man said something very terrible to her. She decided to treat him bad in response. Then the host said you should 以得報怨, instead of treating him bad, treat him even better. Because if you treat him back, you're just creating a vicious cycle.

Has anyone treat you bad? said something that hurt you? Try 以得報怨, do something good in response instead of revenge and treat the same as the other treated you. I know this is very hard, but it will make this world a better world.
