A Pleasant Revenge

Once, an Emperor was informed that some of his subjects in a distant province had revolted against him. Hearing this, he declared, “Come, follow me, and I shall destroy my enemies.”

The Emperor marched with his army to confront the rebels. However, upon his arrival, the rebels surrendered and submitted to his authority. Everyone expected the Emperor to punish them harshly for their revolt. But to everyone’s surprise, the Emperor treated them with kindness, compassion, and humanity.

One of his chief ministers, puzzled by his actions, asked, “Your Majesty, you promised to destroy your enemies, yet you have pardoned them and even shown favor to some. Is this how you keep your word?”

The Emperor calmly replied, “I did promise to destroy my enemies. But these men are no longer my enemies—I have turned them into my friends. So, my promise has not been broken.”

Like this wise Emperor, we too should strive to overcome evil with good. Through acts of kindness and forgiveness, we can transform hostility into friendship and make the world a better place.

একবার, একজন সম্রাটকে খবর দেওয়া হয়েছিল যে দূরবর্তী প্রদেশে তার কিছু প্রজা তার বিরুদ্ধে বিদ্রোহ করেছে। এই কথা শুনে তিনি ঘোষণা করেছিলেন, "এসো, আমার অনুসরণ করো, আমি আমার শত্রুদের ধ্বংস করব।"

সম্রাট বিদ্রোহীদের মোকাবেলা করার জন্য তার সেনাবাহিনী নিয়ে অগ্রসর হন। যাইহোক, তার আগমনের পর, বিদ্রোহীরা আত্মসমর্পণ করে এবং তার কর্তৃত্বের কাছে আত্মসমর্পণ করে। সবাই আশা করেছিল সম্রাট তাদের বিদ্রোহের জন্য তাদের কঠোর শাস্তি দেবেন। কিন্তু সকলকে অবাক করে দিয়ে, সম্রাট তাদের সাথে দয়া, করুণা এবং মানবতার সাথে আচরণ করেছিলেন।

তার একজন মুখ্যমন্ত্রী, তার কর্মকাণ্ডে হতবাক হয়ে জিজ্ঞাসা করেছিলেন, "মহারাজ, আপনি আপনার শত্রুদের ধ্বংস করার প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছিলেন, কিন্তু আপনি তাদের ক্ষমা করেছেন এবং এমনকি কিছু লোকের প্রতি অনুগ্রহও দেখিয়েছেন। আপনি কি এভাবেই আপনার কথা রাখেন?"

সম্রাট শান্তভাবে উত্তর দিয়েছিলেন, "আমি আমার শত্রুদের ধ্বংস করার প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছিলাম। কিন্তু এই লোকেরা আর আমার শত্রু নয় - আমি তাদের আমার বন্ধুতে পরিণত করেছি। তাই, আমার প্রতিশ্রুতি ভঙ্গ করা হয়নি।"

এই জ্ঞানী সম্রাটের মতো, আমাদেরও ভালো দিয়ে মন্দকে পরাজিত করার চেষ্টা করা উচিত। দয়া এবং ক্ষমার মাধ্যমে, আমরা শত্রুতাকে বন্ধুত্বে রূপান্তরিত করতে পারি এবং বিশ্বকে একটি উন্নত স্থান করে তুলতে পারি।
