On the riverbank, a woman removed her outermost covering as though to wash away the dirt prints. the mud which splashed on her back while moving forward..

She was once the victim in her past, and now with those haunting memories, she has started hunting with a vengeance! Her past emotions are now guiding her, which will affect her future — if she has one at all! Fueled by a desire for retribution, she prowls through the shadows, seeking those who once wronged her. Every step she takes is a reminder of the pain she endured, driving her towards a path of darkness and uncertainty. As she delves deeper into her quest for justice, the line between right and wrong blurs, leaving her torn between her past and the unknown future that awaits her. Will she find solace in her vengeance, or will it consume her completely, leaving nothing but a shadow of the person she once was? Only time will tell as she navigates the treacherous waters of her own emotions and the consequences of her actions.

When you push someone into the current of your rage and then drag that person towards the bank to make the world race into a mirage, you can always get back up, no matter how far life throws you down or how much it hurts you! Your ability to rise above them defines your true power

Later on. Could be the wisdom trying to ask her. Are you not letting them harm you again in your head if all of your time is spent plotting and praying that someone will pay the price for what they did to your heart? If you're consumed by thoughts of revenge, are you not allowing the past to continue hurting you in the present?

I hope her heart responds hear me out: everyone will someday face retribution from karma. No matter who you are, you cannot live a life of deceit and hurting people. A circle of events inevitably recurs. It demonstrates how it functions. A manifestation of the universe, will eventually exact the retribution you deserve!

In the process of harming others, maybe, just maybe, she will suffer even more!

She tried to express her suffering by drowning one and injuring the other with her tact and strength, but the agony had been with her for so long that she had come to terms with it as an inescapable aspect of who she was.

As the woman stood on the riverbank, with the weight of her actions heavy on her heart, a gentle breeze whispered through the trees, carrying with it a sense of calm and clarity. In that moment, she realized that the cycle of pain and retribution would only continue if she chose to perpetuate it.

With a deep breath, she let go of the anger and resentment that had consumed her for so long. She understood that true healing could only begin with forgiveness – forgiveness for others, but most importantly, forgiveness for herself.

And so, she made a vow to break free from the chains of her past, to let go of the need for vengeance, and to embrace a path of peace and redemption. With each step she took away from the riverbank, she felt a newfound sense of lightness and liberation.

The woman knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but she was determined to walk it with courage and compassion. And as she looked up at the vast sky above, she felt a glimmer of hope shining down upon her, guiding her towards a future filled with promise and possibility.
