In the ancient land of Jivavarta, there lived two friends. One day, they both got poisoned. Fortunately, they recovered. After recovery, one of the friends started poisoning others, in a hope he would kill whoever had poisoned him. The other friend started distributing antidote to others, so that they would recover in case they get poisoned. In this world, we all get poisoned or harmed some way, and it is up to us how we react -- do we want to seek revenge and harm others, or show compassion and help them.
