Revenge
“once the interpersonal relationship reaches the revenge stage, it is almost impossible for either party to find a solution. To prevent this from happening, when one is challenged to a power struggle, one must never allow oneself to be taken in”
All struggles/competitions end up with the loser in the revenge stage, this creates a cycle of revenge. To stay clear of such cycles, it’s important not to struggle/compete.
