“A long while ago I was on facebook saying something about missing my father after he died. Someone came on the thread and said that there is really no such thing as death, it just appears to be so, and that I shouldn't be sad about my father's absence since he wasn't truly absent. After a wee tit for tat on this, in order to make a point, I deleted one of her messages in which she 'proved' that there was no such thing as death. She got extremely upset that I deleted her message but I explained to her that her message was not truly deleted, it just appeared to be so. She continued being upset and defriended me at which point I suggested that she might want to look at why she is so upset with the death of her facebook comment while saying that I had no reason to be upset about the death of my father.”This guy was hurt by her. And he decided to hurt her. That's what happened. That was wrong. An action that hurts someone should not be considered laudable. Even if the person was behaving inappropriately. That's not moral. That's revenge.
Hurting those who hurt us only perpetuates pain. Pain continues to circulate and build, incident after incident, generation after generation. This action did nothing to bring more peace and love into the world. It perpetuated pain. There was an opportunity for compssion and kindness in this incident. That is not what he chose. He chose to perpetuate pain.
