Vikas and Deepak were two friends who once resided in a city. Together, they invested money in a company enterprise on an equal basis.
They put a lot of effort into the business, and throughout the years they made a ton of money. Vikas had the idea to start a new business after some time. He needed more money, so he convinced Deepak to invest with him. Although Deepak was unsure of the new proposal, he still concurred.
Both put up a lot of effort, but their new venture failed. They had to endure significant losses and spend all of their hard-earned money to prevent the failure of their new venture, yet their business still failed. Both buddies went from being wealthy to being in rags in a matter of years.
Deepak was unable to pardon his pal. As the one who convinced him to invest in his company plan and as a result of his lack of judgment, he lost everything, he believed that Vikas was to blame for his loss.
Deepak's initial resentment toward his friend eventually gave way to wrath. He made the decision to get back at him. As a result, he went to Vikas' house one day when no one was home and set it on fire.
Vikas spotted him as he was escaping the scene, but he was unable to corroborate anything. As he saw his house burn to the ground, Vikas became furious with Deepak and made the decision to exact his own unique kind of retribution.
Vikas visited a bank and obtained a loan. He started a business and gained some profit from it. At that time, he established connections in the market. His contacts and business gave him the upper hand over Deepak. So gradually he began to ruin his life by forcing him to part with everything he had.
Deepak lost everything in a few of months. Let's put an end to this foolishness, he urged as he entered Vikas' home one day. We have both harmed each other enough.
I really don't relish seeking retribution, but you gave me no other option, Vikas retorted.
Then, is it possible to put everything behind you and rekindle your friendship?, Deepak questioned nervously.
Vikas retorted coolly, "No. It's my sincere apologies, but I'll never forget what happened to my house, and neither will you be able to forget what happened to your money. Thus, we are unable to rekindle our friendship.
Although a person may learn to forgive with time, they may never forget the evil that has been done to them.
Moral lesson: We should endeavor to maintain our composure when angry. Once damage has been done to Others, it cannot be undone.
