Sometimes when a person is offended - he will not say anything.
Will go its own way; maybe cry when no one sees. But he will not answer and will not take revenge.
Like a governess who was not paid her salary. Or a sick Cossack, who in the steppe met a landowner in a carriage and asked for a piece of Easter cake.
And they didn't give him. The governess quietly packed up her belongings and left. The Cossack sighed and trudged on. And abuser will also simply leave.
And it will take with it happiness, health, well-being can leave the abuser... Not on purpose, of course. But this is how it turns out.
And the landowner, in anguish, kept going to the steppe and looking for a sick Cossack. And the lady, who had not paid the governess, crushed by a series of misfortunes, also looked for her - and could not find her. So do not offend those who cannot answer. And just leaves, politely saying goodbye. And he does not remind of what happened, and does not crave revenge, and does not require a salary or cake. For some reason, the consequences when such people are offended are very sad. And it is unlikely that this punishment is over - although it may be so. Conscience - it is given above. And even if a person does not hear her, she will punish him. Even in the form of disease and loss.
So you shouldn't offend people. To use them for nothing, to spare a piece of cake, to scoff is not worth it, I just say. It is the kind people that should not be offended. Those who cannot answer - someone else can answer for them ... Invisible and strong.
