We have all heard about the saying that revenge is sweet. But, is it really sweet? For me, i think it is better to forgive because you can forget about it more easily. but when you think of planning to get even or make a revenge, you are just allowing that person to continue to hurt you. Do you agree with me?

Yes dear, I agree with you. To get revenge causes hate and anger, a negative feeling. To forgive, is more humble, and much sweeter of a possitive response.

Neither is sweet...
I just cut all ties with them and ignore them. But I never forgives.
Every dog has its day.
If you go around to screw people life... the odds are that someone will screw yours. So you wait and watch. When it happen... it is sweet to see that natural justice prevails.

It depends...revenge is sweet at that moment you have done it....but, afterwards, you may probably feel kinda stupid or meaningless...forgiveness is much more better because having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy..but trying to forgive someone is very hard to do because you are already hurt deeply...it is possible that someone will do neither of revenge and forgiveness but let the time to do so

Well revenge might make you feel better, but that temporarily moment of happiness will soon fade, because you will suddenly realize that you are not solving the situation, but making it worse. So I say forgiveness because it resolves problems much faster.
