Tit for Tat

Tit for  Tat is a sub-optimal strategy for Life

Shane Parrish


Shall I not hurt him 

       Who has hurt me? You ask 

In first place consider 

       What hurt is?


If someone does an unjust act

      That man has already hurt himself 

Why shall I then hurt myself 

      By causing an unjust act to him


Why do you confuse injury with hurt?

     Injury is detriment caused to body or possessions

Hurt is detriment caused to faculty of will

     That Is modest and faithful 


Others can cause injury 

   But none can hurt you

Except yourself!
