It is a truth that in all societies people have some cause or the other for complaint against those with whom they come into contact. But retaliation is no solution to this problem. The solution lies rather in rising above such feelings of vengefulness. The deliberate overlooking of such matters can diminish the existing tensions, whereas retaliation and revenge only serve to aggravate the situation. But it is no simple matter to stifle such feelings. Man can give up something only when he receives something greater in return. The feeling of a cause having been lost and justice not having been done can only be overcome by gaining some ‘greater good’. The only such ‘greater good’ is the life of the hereafter. Faith in the next, eternal world gives man this greater good, compared to which everything else is insignificant. That is why those who have discovered faith in the life hereafter will readily bear any other loss.
