To the creator of the ChristineKwon_Is_PSYCHO blog:

There is a time to be laugh, there is a time to mourn. What justice do you hope to accomplish? What good do you hope for? Perhaps you think this is justice… or perhaps something deserved. Where’s the grace? where’s the mercy? I’m not going to take sides, I don’t know what happened. Revenge won’t satisfy you, it won’t take away the hurt or the pain. It just destroys you a little bit at a time… Choose the higher path, it’s harder to walk, but God sees and knows this path. Two wrongs don’t make things right.

     You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
 
     Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

— 1 Thessalonians 5:5-15 (NIV) —
