Do you ever think of revenge?

If you were being insulted, or you were bullied by someone, do you ever think about revenge on that particular person later on? Within your mind, do you ever think about finding an opportunity to give him/her an attack, not physically, maybe a perfect chance to pay back what he or she have done to you. An eye for an eye. Sometimes, I was insulted by someone, and instantly, I will tell myself, I will pay him/her back for what he/she just done. But, after a long night sleep, I might as well forget what I vow to do. What about you?

i always think of revenge when someone insulted or bullied me. revenge is the word that comes out to my mouth after being bullied or insulted. but then, i was raised by my parents with doctrines, and my conscience will not allow me to do that revenge. same with you, after a long night sleep i forget about it. let GOD punish them.

I agree, it does cross your mind being an impulse, but your values and the way you were raised up form part of your actual reaction. Eventually, revenge takes a no priority..it does no good anyway, there is good karma in so doing good things instead..

Yes I do. Revenge, in all its sorts, is no good at all. I know that well. Bear grudge is corrupting ourselves. We can killed by our own hatred. That's why I attempt hard how to forget my planned revenge. Forgetting before forgiving. It is the best way of life. So, let give it a try, bro.

I guess that is our human nature isn't it? The first thing you got insulted, you just think of revenge at the first thought. After that, you might simply let it go a little.

Yes, I want to have revenge to those people who insulted and hurt me. I want to crush them, but I know that is a bad thing to do. I want to punish them all, I want to hurt them physically and emotionally. But I am thinking that it's up to them if they have conscience they will say sorry to me. Bad karma will take care of them. I have nothing to do with them.

hi there! yeah, i also feel that way and anted them to feel what i feel, i want them to be hurt, insulted, suffer as well. but those where just on my mind. and i think that's usually what comes to our mind whenever we are in such a situation. i remember when someone hurt me before and makes me feel really bad and insulted, i think of having a revenge by doing what they have done to me, but it don't result to anything good because the more we seek for revenge the more we feel bad, yeah i thought i will be happy when i already let them feel ho i feel before, but in the end, i notice that i am just hurting myself more. from then on, i realize that we should not let our anger lead us on having a revenge because again it will not make any good and will just worsen a situation. i think the best revenge that we can do now is by making our life better and prove them that they are wrong hen they hurt us. having a better life will be a sweet revenge. i think.

I don't ever remember being a revenge seeker. Those kind of feelings usually end in bitterness and hate. Nothing good ever comes from revenge. i just don't see the point of it. I would rather make a positive change instead of a negative one.
