"Ne te venge pas. Évite tes ennemis si tu peux. Ne cherche pas à les vaincre. Si le destin t'amène à eux, tant mieux. Sinon, laisse-les se balancer à leurs propres cordes."

Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:

When someone hurts you or treats you badly, don't try to get back at them. Instead of spending your time and energy on revenge, just stay away from those people. You don't always have to win against them or show that you are better. If you happen to cross paths with them again naturally, that's fine. But if life keeps you apart, let them deal with their own problems by themselves. For example, if a coworker is always rude to you, don't waste your energy trying to make them look bad in return. Focus on your work and success, and let their own negative actions come back to haunt them without your intervention. This approach helps you stay calm and focused on your own growth, rather than being caught up in negative cycles of conflict.
