how far would you go for revenge?

Yes I have experienced how sweet revenge can be. I am basically a weakling, both in spirit and in body. So at school or in college, (or even in my youth) I could never think of ways to get even with my torturers. But when somebody did, boy! Did it feel nice to know that the same person who tormented me, has got it back! But now I have mellowed down a lot and believe that each has his own calling and each one of us will have to pay for our actions in our own way. So there is no point in harboring ill-feeling and making myself sick in the way, plotting plotting REVENGE! Nature has its own laws of justice and I need not worry my pretty little head over ‘getting even’.

I would say that it takes a strong heart to defeat vindivtivness,revenge is a weak and cowardly personality trait.

I don't know. Right now, I suppose I am a somewhat vengeful person, but I usually don't hold onto feelings of anger or irritation for very long.

Well, to me it seems that some people do things to hurt others and they just go about their life happy, and seems like nothing bad every happens to them. I do believe that at some time in their life though they will experience the hurt they may have caused others.

I really don't go out of my way to seek revenge. That would only put me on the same level as the person who wronged me. I have seen the "what comes around,goes around" phylosophy put into action and believe it happens. Of course it all depends on circumstances. I do stand up for myself but I tend to try to steer clear of mean people.

It depends on the situation. Two things i could think whenever my mother or father get mad at me. I was thinking eversince when i was still achild, my mother always get mad at me. Something that pushes to ask myself who's really my mother. All houce works it was me to carry for that. Time has come to think that if i need to choose among two things and began to think. If i am going to take rennegative revenge, i will be the one to suffer. I need to balnce the things so i would rather sacrifice a little bit. So i did it i never took the negative revenge but positive that gives me to finish my university until i become a teacher now. Sometimes sacrifices is neede to reach a goal...........what do you think?

Some people can take revenge to the extreme that it takes over their lives and in effect actually ruins their lives rather than the person they hold a grudge against. Personally I do believe that generally getting on with your life as best you can with your head held high is the best revenge. My ex husband did something quite unforgivable to me for which I could have sent him to prison for over 5 years but I decided to move on with my life rather than be responsible for sending away the father of 2 kids to prison (his kids, not mine)! My revenge was to have one last meeting with him and see his heart break when my new fella called me during our meeting and hear me call him "baby" down the phone which my ex thought would always be reserved for him! Bloody cheek - when he was now married to someone else and had 2 kids with her!

Seeking revenge seems a waste of energy and a rather toxic endeavor. I agree that living well is the best revenge. If we all were to respond to others with revenge we would all be stooping to a lower level of human existence that would be rather barbaric and keep anything positive from being done. It's important to think of the children, of the future, creating a better world and being better people. Those who do not, suffer from their own negative energy.
