Hell has no fury as that of a woman scorned.

Some men and women know not the word 'forgiveness'. Neither do they know about living the present and looking forward to the future. As a result they cannot forget a slight or an injury caused by someone. They would mull over the incident for weeks, months and years, thinking of the deed until the thoughts become toxic and poison their mind, unbalancing it until it no longer can think properly and correctly what ought or ought not to be done. With that toxic fermenting in the mind, the idea of revenge will certainly surface.

And that was what I read in the Star newspaper today about a woman who took revenge on her dead ex-hubby fifteen years after divorcing him.

Apparently, the woman must have felt cheated or by her husband for she divorced him. The hurt must have been great for the act of him in no way assuage the woman's anger with the husband.

The anger could have seethe even more when the divorced husband married again. And it boiled over with the opportunity for revenge when her ex-husband passed away. Of course, she could not hurt him anymore. But that did not prevent her from seeking satisfaction by causing mischief to the husband's present wife and her family, hoping to embarrass them. She posted posters informing others that justice has been served with his death. According to the Star, this was what China Press reported.

According to the report, even her son was not allowed to attend the funeral of her ex-husband. Nevertheless, he did attend and the woman was so angry with the son for that that he kicked him out of the house.

To make sure that her own son was to be punished and could not enter the house anymore, she even went to the extent of changing all the locks in her house.

Let us learn from this episode that there are those who would keep in their hearts forever all the slights and injury caused themBeware of the fact that there is danger of embarrassment or pain from some of the wrongs that we may have caused. So, harm not lest we be harmed. Hurt not lest we be hurt in turn.
