I used to think that revenge was important, and when I was younger, I had no problem going after it. However, I have changed my thoughts on this issue over the years, and while there are some things in life that I would definitely classify as revenge-worthy, I have found that most of the time, things are better left alone. As a former law enforcement officer, I also found that sometimes the best feeling revenge came on behalf of other people. There is a certain satisfaction that comes from locking the door of a jail cell behind someone who has wronged someone else.

Hi dear, Yes, for someone it is a pledge. Those who did wrong things should get punished. Revenge is a kind of punishment which we determine. Normally, we are people can do any wrong, and if they do it towards we people, we cannot ask, why? It is the duty of the authorities. However, people who got a bitter experience with someone always pray to get a similar experience to them either through a revenge or by simply cursing them. Thanks for your opinion and comments. Regards, - thanks

Hi Thanks. Revenge? I had many occasions where I just felt so very bad and raged that I thought of taking up revenge. But I am not that a hot-blooded guy. I understand that thinking about taking a revenge is something related to anger and in that momentary thing, whatever way I will take will certainly mess up the situation. So I prefer o wait for the appropriate time to come. But as always, when I say I will take revenge at a later time, actually this gives me time to cool down and think about things differently. And I always end up with this - "Lord somewhere is watching all of us and He has watched this one too. He is supposed to take care of this. As a person, human, it is my duty to forgive, forget and move on. I am not going to stick to this - thinking / planning how do I take a revenge..." So at end it comes up to this - I do not believe in taking revenge. If there is anything it has to be done on the spot at that time... if not then it is never. Regards, Sids

Hi dear, I join with upto a certain extent but not fully. Perhaps, you may not have such a touching experience. I am not telling that we should take revenge upon a person. I used the word ‘revenge’ to get a clear meaning of the concept. There are instances where we get a long and strong relationships some good friends or any one for a long period relationships. May be among friends, business partners etc. But there were a situation of heavy cheating and you realize the fact after a long period of time. It is a just example only. You were simply mocking by other or ‘utilising’ or ‘using’ in the name of friendship and ridiculed for a long period of time. The grudge, and the humiliation upon them is quite natural and when you realize that ‘you were cheated’ by those close ones, may be really painful or make you sad enough. This would later on divert to litigation and hatred which ultimately form a shape of revenge. Of course, should not be promoted, but in our inner mind, such a feeling will generate and we will not allow them to just pass you by the way as it is. If you faced such a situation, then only you can really feel it. However, thank you so much for your comments and sorry for the delay to respond you in time. Regards, - thanks

Yes. I always thought about of revenge but when i have chance to do it. I didn't make it. I ask for what am i doing. This revenge could not make me feel better.. I just let them be their self. I just hope that they will realized what have they done to me.

Hi dear, Yes, if they realize and make self correction there itself, it’s the best solution for it. Simple things we can forget and it is quite natural. We should forgive them as well. But there may be instances where it is beyond the limit and hurt the feelings and making heavy losses due to cheating. Such things are to be considered as sinful and not appropriate. However, many think that taking revenues is not so appropriate and somebody is there to look after such things. I am not at all agree with that and what we do here in this world ends up here itself. If this is the case, they are the winners, if we do not do anything. Thanks for you comments. Regards, Thank-s

Hi! No, I don't do revenge. I believe in the saying what goes around comes around. So good luck to them, karma is just around the corner. Lol.

Actually, I haven't experienced any trouble from other people. I've already argued with some of my friends when we were just in high school, but it's nothing to be big deal of. And it never came to my mind to revenge against them. Time will heal those pains/hurts, I believe. :)

Nice of you. I think you got a great team of friends and treat them well. Few things we can understand that as being humans, it is genuine and may happen. But realizing and correct them in time and move forward is the best solution for it. I really appreciate your way of thinking. Thanks for you comments. Regards, Thank-s

I allways imagine taking my revenge, but i never do :). the madness and frustrations pass very fast for me, and the next day i'm calm and with no imagination for making notty plans :D. Every time i say what i think and there is no point in taking revenge on my own hands.

Hi dear, It is a kind of frustration and at times we feel so furious and lot of feelings comes in our mind. Many crimes emerge as a result of revenge. In normal sense no one become criminals and there may be a reason behind it. At many times we may think of take revenge up the people who made foul play with us. But as times moves on the intensity will get reduced we may pardon to the case. But as it natural and related independently with different people we cannot predict how the reaction from different people. Regards, -thanks

Hi dear, In reality, we may not have any intention. But certain facts which we have faced due to someone’s foul play would end up in revenge. We may get irritated at most occasions due to such things. The heavy blow to our life by someone which cannot be forgettable or the damage to our life due to someone in certain cases emerges for situations like this. However, we would control ourselves upto our maximum and when there comes the extremes. Many are of the opinion is revenge is a pleasure and it gives a kind of satisfaction. It is correct if we analyze with a psychological approach. However, thank you for your comments. Regards, - thanks

As human beings, the exploding emotion of taking revenge is unavoidable, even in me. When people do bad things to me, I imagine taking revenge, and a lot! But, it must be the trials of becoming a good person. When we choose to let it go, we will feel peace. I've ever done something to satisfy my vengeance's desire, but it was not good. In the end we only found destruction.

Hi dear, The culture form of a vengeance is forgiveness, of course it is true and that is the case many are still in good shape. But there are cases where our cultured or disciplined performances were questioned by such deeds. There the issues arises – but we will somehow manage with certain proper alternatives. It is good to know that we can manage upto a certain extent. Thanks for your comments. Regards, Thank-s

It depends upon what kind of humiliation i have experienced,if person who did it did it purposely.If its a small dispute i let people go.If there is something worth taking revenge i wait for right time and plan everything before i take revenge.

Hi dear, Yes – It has its own importance. If we value others and they do foul plays in our life or play with the rest of life, and they make enjoyment – it should be answered for it. As you said, we can forget simple things and major issues and repeated moving is some kind of disgraceful act need to be considered. It is not that we should spoil their life, but they should realize the impact by spoiling others’ life. If they deserve, there is no body to do that for them. Thanks for you comments. Regards, Thank-s

Yes I did. Many of my problems have been such that I felt like taking revenge. But may be it was my laziness, or acceptance that I am not that smart, or simply inabiliy or indecisiveness about what would constitute as good revenge that prevented me. Whatever it is, I managed to steer clear from people who troubled me, and over a period, god started troubling them, putting them to shame on issues that I had accused them of. I didnt do a thing to hurt them! That indicated to me that I was on right course. It is god's world. If I am hurt by somebody, I should move out of their world. Over a period, god will take over all the debits and credits and then decide how much is balance to whom. :) It is not my duty to do that. :)

Hi dear, Here you said it only because you are helpless. I understand from your other comments that you have gone through a rigorous life experience though out the time. You must have got my early sayings. If we de-motivate ourselves, no one can do anything for you. You must identify what you are and come up with your power. If we go back, others will just send us to the bottom or at the back side. So, think better and promote whatever is in our inner mind. You become so dumb due to the troubles made by others to you. You should take your rebirth and fight for your life. An new and strong Vandana should come in your place. Your words should have hope and expectations. You should think for tomorrow and just forget about the past. Even I got a dam past in my life. If I just take it one by one and cry over it, we cannot reach anywhere. So, remember, if anyone hurts you, you should ask why? It is your privilege. You should honour yourself. I think you understand what I mean to say. So, best regards and go ahead. Regards, - thanks

Well yes, it happens in life that people hurt us, trouble us and take advantage of us. And then there comes a natural feeling in us for taking revenge. So I guess its kinda natural to feel like taking revenge from such people.

Hi dear, Yes, at many occasions it happens. People hurt by knowingly or unknowingly. Upto a certain extent we can realize and excuse from our part. But if it really hurts and taking advantage of the incident, all may not be able to take it granted. In such cases, people think of a vengeance and as you said, it is natural and sometimes it happens depend on the intensity of the matter. Thanks for your comments. Regards, -thanks

there would be moments that i'd feel so sad and so mad of people who does no good for me. though there are people who could make me real frustrated i don't think of revenge. I never thought it could make any good. Revenge will not satisfy any one because it would only make things worse. Doing good instead, to somebody who hurt you will make them realize more that what they did was wrong and you're not deserving of it.

Hi dear, Probably as you said, it creates further problems if we go for a revenge. Still many are opted for it. Why? It may be because they get some kind of satisfaction by doing so. It is a derived pleasure which emerge due to disappointment which has caused by someone through a foul deed. Someone did some wrong to you and which you cannot bear it. May be of any time, it must have made you a kind of loss or image. May be monetary or of any type, one person must have exploited and degraded. Also, the other person may be enjoying life by spoiling the other. This is the case where mostly people prefer to go for revenge. I am not justifying it, but analyzing the different reasons if anyone do it. Regards, - thanks

I sometimes feel I wanted to, but whenever I think about it deeply, I will realize that it's not up on me to do revenge. I do not have the right to take revenge amongst people who have caused bad. There is God who knows the right thing to do with these people,there is justice and there is karma.:)

Hi dear, It seems that all want to give the responsibility to give a chance to God to take revenge on someone’s errors. I think there is a mistake in our thinking and thoughts or our understandings. Like you, there are millions and millions of people from ages, this is following. What then we will do. I think if someone erred to us, we, the direct impacted only can judge them. None other than us is the responsible person to question them. If we don’t do it, he will simply escapes. As all of us know, God is busy in many things and if he couldn’t get a chance to listen to our prays, what we will do? Thanks for you comments. Regards, Thank-s
