"自分を復讐する最良の方法は敵のようにならないことです。"
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
If someone treats you badly, being mean back to them doesn't solve anything. Instead, show you’re better than them by staying kind and fair. Imagine you're in school, and a classmate spreads a rumor about you. Instead of spreading lies about them too, you choose to keep being friendly and honest. Eventually, people will see you as the better person, and the mean classmate won't have power over you anymore. This way, you protect your own character and gain respect from others. Choosing to act differently from the people who hurt you is the best way to prove your strength and integrity.
