English dictionary – offline (Livio) - Caution: 2. A careful attention to the probable effects of an act, in order that failure or harm may be avoided; prudence in regard to danger; provident care; wariness.
I don’t support retaliation nor vengeance, but rather caution because when you don’t caution some people, they’ll step allover you till you’re dead.
Some people are wreckers, they won’t stop until they make your life a living hell. When such people aren’t close it might be easily managed. But when they’re close, one just has to pull caution. This isn’t malice or hatred (to me), it’s safe guarding your life against those who are nonchalant or insensitive about it.
Some people hate confrontation and as such trust that such people (i.e. wreckers) will vanish by chance. Yes, such do happen; but many a time they don’t vanish. Their victims have to manage the situation; and pretense isn’t the best approach. And the worst part is that some wreckers are oblivious of their actions. Which means they won’t stop if not cautioned.
The act of caution can include verbal caution, keeping your distance, reducing or killing the flow of communication, and severing bond. With this I believe, you’ll experience some good peace; and even be able to refrain yourself from hatred. When it’s the case of outsiders – where communication is already minimal, verbal caution is best applied, while violence should be avoided unless there’s the need for self defense. I’m strictly against violence because some wreckers can push one into atrocity.
This is why tolerance for others should be built, and applied alongside caution. Killing another person, shouldn’t be utmost but a last resort – here I’m putting spiritual death sentences into consideration. Grace should be allowed to speak, function or have its turn; people can change, though some would never change. That’s why caution is needful, so you can live sanely while these wreckers are living too.
Finally, don't forget to listen to your intuition.
Cheers
