Florida Man David Refrains from Gator Wrestling Saul
In a strange turn of events, Florida Man David found himself face to face with his enemy, Saul, in the middle of a swamp. Normally, this would be the perfect setting for a classic Florida Man gator wrestling match, but David had other plans.
As Saul dozed off under a tree, David snuck up on him and cut off a piece of his robe. Saul woke up to find his robe in tatters and David standing in front of him, holding the evidence.
Despite the opportunity to take out his enemy for good, Florida Man David refrained from gator wrestling Saul and instead spoke to him with respect and honor.
Saul was taken aback by David’s kindness and even admitted to his wrongdoing in the past. The two men parted ways, with Saul promising to leave David alone from then on.
Later, when David’s men urged him to take advantage of the situation and gator wrestle Saul while he was vulnerable, David refused. He knew that it was not the right thing to do and that it was better to show mercy than to seek revenge.
In the end, Florida Man David’s decision to spare Saul’s life ended up leading to a better outcome for everyone involved. It just goes to show that sometimes the best course of action is to refrain from gator wrestling and show kindness instead.
"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord." – Romans 12:19
