If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should—so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.

— Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre (Smith, Elder & Co. of London, October 19, 1847)

Kaladin has been learning to read, but just barely. He reads something about Retribution, but misreads it as Redemption and the massive cognitive force that is Kaladin's desire to save people instantly realigns the shard and Kaladin is able to steal it from Taravangian

The End

Learn the Art of Being Unbothered

We've all been there, a person dislikes us and decides to try to make our life hell by constantly provoking us looking for a response and a scalation to make us lower ourselves to their level.

Choosing to ignore these kinds of people and being selective in how we utilize our energy and focus is a crucial skill to develop as one becomes more successful, popular, and elevated. The truth is that this world is filled with miserable people who want nothing more than to bring others who are doing better down so they can feel better about themselves. It's up to us to not give them that satisfaction.

When someone attacks you, you must assess the situation and realize if retaliation is something the attacker is worthy of. If the attacker is of lower status, intelligence, or success, and is lashing out at you with unfounded accusations, the best course of action is to ignore their entire existence. This will help to starve them of the attention they crave, minimize exposure to them and their lies, and make them go over the edge.

Retaliation is something that needs to be carefully planned and assessed. It should be saved for people who have the means to do active harm to you. It's not something to take lightly. Nobodies trying to get a reaction out of you do not deserve the time of day, more often than not, they will end up making a fool out of themselves without you having to lift up a finger. Remember that and stay classy.

Now, I know, with almost ironclad certainty, that Retribution's God Metal is going to be called "Taravangium", because that both sounds good and makes sense, given what we know of other God Metals and their naming conventions. But I truly hope that Brando will call it "Taravangianium" simply because it would be hilarious.
