YES !!! Someone got their bike back ... GREAT ! This is what matters most to me.
For reference I did have a bike stolen once ... and someone "caught". Did I feel an ounce of vengeance or punishment towards the person ? No . What good does it do me to harbor such feelings of MY heart and mind ? It only hurts ME. Easier said than done ? Not really ..... it's as easy or difficult as you choose it to be. I could just as easily say it's easy to get up in the feeling of being "done wrong" by someone .... easy to want revenge.... easy to want them to "pay" and be punished . Or is it ? Your feelings within yourself always reveal that punishment of another hurts yourself more . Who really wants to hurt anymore ? Each to ask ourselves..... or not ...
