Revenge is sweeter than honey.

It is rather a old saying,"revenge is sweeter than honey". How many of you agree with this saying and why do you agree? Who else disagree and why? Did any body took revenge on others and felt in that way?
Well in my opinion, I don't think revenge is sweeter than honey. I don't think revenge will give any pleasure, happiness, satisfaction and all. Instead it will bring more worries, tensions, enemies and some times threats too.I really don't believe in taking revenge. Better forget it and then be usual.
Say somebody has done some harm to you or hurt you. Then if I want to take revenge, then you will first struggle to get the correct time to revenge him. You will think of it again and again which will divert your concentration. Then when you get chance you will take revenge may be by doing some harm intense or light and that may be a success or failure. If it is a success, at that moment you may get a kind of satisfaction which is momentary. But do you think that particular person be quit and tolerate? No he or she wont. He will try to revenge you back. That will give fear and threats to you. You won't have peace in your mind.You will have to be prepared to face it. When he or she has revenged you back again you will rise. So it is going to be a cycle that will never end.
It is always better that we tolerate when others does harm or hurts you instead of keeping it in mind and trying to take revenge. It is torture to ourself. Tolerate, forgive and forget it.

That is pretty deep.
Negativity does breed more negativity.

You say this probably because you haven't been hurt that much. What if someone wants to exploit you on a daily basis, find every way to harm you, talk bad stuff to you, hit you, deprive you of using anything in the house, lock you up in a room and never allow you do anything? Like it or not, there are a lot of people who have been abused and revenge is the only thing that will save them.

It happens but I don't think taking revenge on such people will be a good solution. As their action it self shows that they are not a good person, they will never stop doing the same if we go on taking revenge. Better we turn our deaf ear. That is my opinion lol.

Revenge can never be sweeter. It can satisfy one's ego and make him temperarily happy but he would not never get true happiness. There is a saying : Make others happy if you want to be happy.
Now think of it differently. God is everywhere and in everybody. The God within you and within your enemy is the same. It is only because of your sins that you are two different persons. If you take revenge whom you are hurting? You are hurting the same God that lies in you.

It is nice that you would apologize them if it is your mistake. Knowing how to apologize is really appreciated. But what if he or she is such a person who don't know the importance of apology? You will keep on fighting back until and unless some unimaginable aftermaths? I think it is always better that we stop taking revenge. It may some times change other persons way of thinking and thus life.

Try to tolerate as much as possible. He/She will definitely change his/her mind after some times if you don't react at all. Why would he or she interfere in your life without any reason? Definitely one who does that will not be a good person to react. Trying to react with him or her will bring lots of disorder in yourself. I assure you this.
Infect it happened to me. I am not from this place. I am a foreigner studying here and few boys were trying to bully me like a kid. But as i mentioned above i use to turn deaf ear. Use to pretend as if i have heard nothing. But now i see their mind changed at least towards me. Forget about trying to harm or hurt me they are ready to help when in need. Tolerance works dude.

You have no complaint from me. Even being next to a person spewing hatred and violence, vowing revenge for some little wrong gets me into a negative mood, even though I'm not involved directly. It is very difficult to keep one's mind, or rather, for me to keep my mind in order with all the psychopaths around me. I'm getting better at it. But I still have moments where I forget to be civil.

I don't think that revenge is ever sweet. it causes the greatest harm to us in any situation. nothing good ever comes from it no matter what we think.

Revenge for me mentally debilitates me. I cannot see me revenging and walking away feeling great at all. I think that contemplating revenge takes a great deal of thought, and it is the thought that lingers and overtakes my good nature.
So I rather let things go and continue to feel good about myself instead.

Revenge may be sweet as honey for some people but not for me cause I believe in the biblical quote "vengeance is mine sayeth the lord", It's hard to make me angry and I only get angry when my family gets involved because I trust God and I know he is always there to level up things. Revenge is one of the feelings or power that is reserved only for God so man should avoid it as much as possible.

I don't think forgiveness solves anything.
Eye for an eye.
Something are to heinous to be forgiven for. You don't have to dwell on something to know it can't be forgotten!
