Do you seek revenge when someone has wronged you?

many tims i always think that way., how i wish i could really get back on those people who have wronged and hurt me... but, being a christian aint like that.. thats what my dad always told me., yes., we aint perfect... we always have bad thoughts on things and people alike... but yes youre right my friend., try to forget about it and continue with your life... and make those hurt and pains as a lesson of life that...yes...cant be forgotten but atleast tried to renew for a better you.

i am not the kind of person that seeks revenge on people who has done me wrong. i am always the kind of person who fights back in a battle... face to face battle... but if someone has done me wrong behind my back, i will just defend myself and if there is nothing else to do, i will just leave his/her fate to karma. i always believe that karma and nature balances everything in this world, for every action, there is an equal and an opposite reaction.

It is very easy to think of revenge when you have been wronged. I have thought of these things many times in my life but the best thought that always comes to my rescue is the thought that they will have their comeuppance one day. I believe in the law of causation where every action will have a reaction. Cheers!!

There is a saying here. Hate begets hate, which will never end. But some hateful people really drive us mad. It is not so easy to forget.

I do. I try to find ways to make them mad because they made me mad. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Someone egged my car about a year ago. I never found out who it was, but if I did.. I'd egg their face. LOL

I try not to seek revenge. I think that trying to get revenge is a childish and usely act. In the end, I think that an act of revenge can come back and have a terrible outcome for the person who sought to get revenge. I think that the best idea is to let go of the hurt, forgive the person who hurt you and move on with your life.

I always remember "Vengeance is mine said the Lord" and what goes aound comes around. Both of these methods of revenge have always worked for me BUT I have spent many a satisfying and cathartic amount of time just imagining all the worst things I could to the person who has wronged me.!!

I agree with you. The best approach is to let it go and move on because it will not do you any good. We should try to be optimistic. "There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness." -This is by Josh Billings Good day msedge!

Dear friend, Forgiving the most is my policy. Forgive,forgive, forgive... still if some is punching or doing any unbearable to me again and again no way to the maximum I avoid revenge and rarely I take revenge. May be I would take revenge for the survival of myself may be for the self defence of myself or may be for the survival and self defence of my family. I do believe the most God is there watching all these and if needed God will is sure to give a punishment for those cruelties. Hence I just avoid revenges to the maximum.

what goes around comes around isn't that the truth? i hurt myself more when i use revenge i never forget it but i go on and try not to waste my precious time brewing over those individuals

When someone wrongs me, I never want to see that person again. I just want to quickly move on and live my life happily. I wouldn't want such a person to ruin my life. If I were to take revenge, he might be bitter and take revenge back on me. There's no end to revenge. I believe God is looking at us all the time. God will know what to do to those people in due time.

Nah. God wants us to forgive - 70 times 7 isn't it? So that's what we have to do. He also tells us that vengence it His and I'm certain that God can come up with revenge or punishment much more effective than anything I could cook up.

I've considered it but never followed through. I imagine all the horrible things that I would LIKE to do but never do it because I know it's lowering myself to their position and I won't do it. But I think, just by imagining it, it helps me deal with it.

Making revenge for someone who have done wrong with me is not my attitude,but i will weigh it first if how heavy is the damaged that has done to me.If did not made move for that person,i know that anybody can make revenge for me.I'll just keep on praying that this person somehow realize for the mistake has done to me.GOD is there to guide me always.

I used to be the type that would seek revenge but as i got older and had kids I grop out of it an relize that its just a big waste of time.I think if they wronged you show them your better then them by not careing or showing that what they did bother you so really just move on.

I can't say I've never "thought" about revenge...it's your first reaction when someone hurts you ...lash back. Do I seek it? NO!! That would put me on their level or maybe even lower...I just won't go there. I figure that I made a poor judgement in character in letting this person into my life and I suck it up and move on....easy?no! I just hold on to every urge to lash out and eventually it does subside. In the end, well, I sleep well at night, knowing that I did absolutely NOTHING to this person. I talked to an ex quite a bit back who'd been very, very abusive. I had moved on and had never retaliated. I had made peace with it somehow. He had not....He told me that he still was having nightmares of it all. It was a bit weird because he always blamed me for the abuse and I did believe at the time that I was that bad. Took a bit of councelling for me to conclude that I wasn't that bad but I still never looked at him as the entire problem. I think when you wrong someone...on some level whether you admit it or not....in your heart you know it and it will play on your emotions.

I am revengefu. i come from a long line of revengeful people. I am a Scorpio and Irish. What more can I say? Both have underlying revenge in their DNA.

I agree with you. I also think it is best to "turn the other cheek" when someone has done you wrong. I try my best to do this. Although I do not plot revenge, I will shut them out of my life. I figure that if they feel remorse for what they did, they will eventually contact me and say so. There are enough things for us all to deal with in our own day to day lives and activities, we should not let someone bother us that much. We are the only ones who can contol our own actions. We cannot control someone else's. Why try? I think it is just best to be the "bigger person" when we are wronged.

well, a christian i beleive that when i am being wrong by someone it usually pain me but i train as much as posible tosettle it amicably. cause the bible say if your brother wrong do not allow the sun fall without it being settle.

I imagine on what will happen if I have some kind of powers and he messes with me then I do evil things to him. But only IMAGINE. I don't really like having revenge. It's not good. I just forgive and forget. Revenge will not do any good to me.
