Should Acts Of Revenge Be Done In Secret?

When you plot revenge you are letting the other person win. It shows you're weak and let them get to you. It will not make you feel any better especially when you see that you get no reaction from your "victim'. Why would they be effected if they didn't care about you in the first place? Besides that there is a thing called Karma and nothing you do, can compare to what happens when that comes along. You could let things be and let karma do its thing to them, or you can play your game and suffer Karma along with them.

I thought of revenge many times over the years... but it is too time consuming... and I usually give up on the idea. Revenge is pretty much like hate. It is a waste of your time and has a negative effect on you psychologically. I prefer to use phychologie as revenge. By not reacting to what happen and ignoring the person wishing me harm... I actually remove that person satisfaction of having won something over me. And that is probably the best revenge. Because instead of being happy with himself... he will be infuriated not to get a reaction from me. There is also the karma thing... "What's goes around comes around"... and it often proves to be true. Besides that... revenge will often land you in jail... if you cannot control your anger. Then you are really the loser... and your tormenter wins beyond all expectations. Like I say... revenge is un-healthy and is better left ignored.

i never think of plotting a revenge on anyone because it is just not my nature and it will be against my conscience... judgement is not my right... but it is God's right... so i prefer to let God to punish the person rather than i do it myself... i also don't want to be judged by God by using the standard that i use to judge other people... and an act of revenge won't solve the problems but will just make things worst... it will be endless as well... take care and have a nice day...

Since revenge can often backfire on people and because it often leads to negative actions,maybe its not such a good idea. Its tempting at times but my mom always said, kill them with kindness. I think to that it depends on what it is about and what has been done on how you decide to handle it.

Hi Wolfie, I don't believe in revenge but I do believe in what goes around comes around or Karma as some may say. However, I will share somethingI did do a few years ago without going into too many details. A close friend was seriously hurt in an accident which was someone elses fault and to save their own ar*e blamed someone else as a driver and then disappeared from the scene. All I done was park the car up outside of their 'NEW' home until they spotted me. I didn't do anything except they were now aware that I was aware of where they lived. Their own guilt was revenge enough and them being aware and not knowing whether they were going to get hit by something more. Nasty, but was it? I didn't do or say anything. Their own guilty concious caused them far more grief eh! Huggles. Ellie :D

Well if it's something illegal, better to do it anonymously. They'll probably know it was you anyway. On the other hand, if you could pull off something truly evil but not illegal, right in front of them, the look on their face - "priceless". If I did something like that, I would probably think it was hilariously funny at first and then feel awful later...

I never did. If I will, probably only for sweet revenge, because it is so hard to be mean (Probably only in secret) What is the point of revenge anyway? HUGS

actually in general case people try to take revenge when someone acts really bad against some. when we are hurt in truest sense, we may think of a revenge. I thought but the idea never materialized. i think God will act accordingly

My style TENDS to be out in the open. I take care to be subtle (what's a vengeful nature that's not carefully crafted?), but I don't usually bother to cover my tracks. Mind you, there are exceptions and it usually takes alot for me to feel vindictive enough to just go...um...hurt someone. And while it usually doesn't take alot of planning, I regret to say that when I do act in this way...it tends to be kinda...scary an devastating o_o For me, it's not addictive. Neither is it satisfying. Rarely do I even enjoy it. I view it as balancing the tallies. I try not to view it as karma, because I don't have the right to judge these people, imo. But if you've hurt me enough to get to this point..well, the teeth and claws come out and even if you're completely oblivious to your repeated damage to my heart and life at your own hands...then I can and will act and you'll be sorry you ever knew me. ...quite nasty, aren't I?

hi wolfie I hate doing that as in the end I dont feel 'good I feel terrible and no better than the person 'who hurt me. so instead I beat the person at his own game as I had this one teacher who for some reason did not like me, and he was a college prof and I was 56 and in his class.So he had embarassed me once too often and the next quarter I had to take this one class but had my choice, either his class and being embarrassed again or a new prof who everyone said was a reallynice man. so this jerk is rubbing his hands, and sayin to me, you will be in my next class, and I said very cheerfully i hope to heaven not, no I am in Professor So and sos class. He turned red and stomped off. I laughed inside but wanted to laugh out loud at the jerk.

Oh yeh i did a revenge once. :P i remember when I was in high school, there was a guy who made a rude comment about me. It was soo embarassing. So one day, i decided to spray his sit with water. So when he sat on, his pants from the butt was wet and it was as if he wet his pant. haha It was satisfying enough. ^_^ i had a great laugh with my friends. And of course, i did this secretly. I wouldn't do anything more than this which can affect health or has violence. To that point, I think people should just walk away and one day that fella will feel bad and regret. If he/she won't, at least you know you did nothing wrong so leaving with a peace in mind.

Acts of revenge should never be done at all actually. Believe me, it is so tempting, though! LOL! There are people that I would like to take my revenge out on, but, I also realize that is God's job and not mine. I have to trust that He will take care of it for me. Sadly, for most people revenge is very satisfying AND very addictive. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Hi ya wolfie34 I am a real chicken so I don't ever get revenge on people, I would be found out and everything has a habit of turning around and biting you on the bum! Even with the ex I didn't take revenge but he still got what he deserved. I beleive that what goes around comes around!!!

I don't think revenge is needed! Problems will work themself out! Revenge is just an excuse, it takes more brain power. Figure out how nice u can be and reap the full benefits!! Taripre$

I think acts of revenge should not be done at all. Although I am human and would love to just give somebody a good whack once in a while, I know it is just the momentary pleasure I am seeking. I think it all works out better if you just leave well enough alone and let God take care of it. If you argue with a skunk you are going to come out stinky too. I also know it is easier said than done in most cases. Walking away when you really want revenge is a super hard thing to do!

I am a christian and I do believe in forgiveness. Revenge brings more revenge and hatred and it does not end there. I think that revenge comes into the mind of everybody but it is up to us whether to act upon it or not. © ronaldinu 2008

I have contemplated revenge on someone who has wronged me several times but I have never carried it through. It's just all in my mind. One reason why I never carried them through because, I won't really feel good nor vindicated afterwards. It's just so not my Me. so I would rather leave it to the so called 'universal justice'. I believe that those who do bad things to their fellow would really experience bad karma. It's just a matter of time. I have seen it so all i could say to those who are doing bad things to other people...may they get what they really deserve.

Hi wolfie, There have been times in my life when I've thought about revenge, but I have never been able to carry it through. Revenge is never the way to go unless you're talking about someone who has played a trick on you, in that case it would be a lot of fun to get back at them and the only time it would feel satisfying for me. Blessings.

Oh honey. Enitially I agree. You don't want them to know. But, always have this desire to have that moment when you say: GOTCHA!! I have been satisfied with the whole thing for quite awhile actually. They have to really have it coming. I have a heart so they have to be pretty nasty. Revenge is just revenge. You either have a need to do it or you don't. It is what it is. Nothing to be proud of or to spout off about. One of those things you just get in, do it , and get out. And then move on!

act of revenge is better when they are served personally, seeing their faces as they discover that it was you, har har never did try to do that though. did some plotting before but now I believe that when people done me wrong I am just making my life difficult when I think about them, it was like they do something bad to you and you think of them and plan on getting back at them, as you will only waste time and energy planning, oh just let it pass, I am pretty sure something bad will also happen to them, what you give is what you get.
