i think all of us..even the holier than thous lol, have had a temptation to hurt someone if they really hurt them..only the good faith and sound logic stops you from letting your imagination run rampant in the tapestry of life..
when i was married in my first marriage and i was treated like a subhuman thing..i was so upset at how my ex's sons were treating me i wanted to expose something of their life i knew was going to damage them..i really was tempted..but in the end i thought..well they can persecute me but if i become like them..i will be losing as it would create another person claimed by anger and hatred..so i decided to take the victim route until i had the strength to quietly remove myself without bitterness or hatred and i am so much better for it..now when i sometimes see them i am glad i never acted..i see their strengths and weaknesses like any other human being..but amm glad i am not in that situation where they can harm me any more..

I think all of us have gone through that. hating someone or something so much we felt it was our job to get even or make it right some how. yet it never helps or makes you feel better. you did the right thing by moving on and improving your life. now isn't that the best revenge!!! (wink)

I spent half my life thinking of ways to get even with people for the hateful things they did to me as a child, but that's not who I am and of course I never carried out a single thought I had.
I spend my life helping others and I think that helps me to have hope. :)

Oh yes. I am married to a wonderfully controlling person and I tell you I have imagined letting everyone know his secrets and embarras him permanatly. I will never do this, but there are times when I get soooo mad that I just envision the plot.

When i was with my ex husband, i thought that he had had an affair with a friend of ours while we were having problems but we were together, my gut instinct told me that he had. At the time he told me i was crazy and that i was imagining things, eventually we separated. He came over to give me my house keys and his wedding ring back and he then admitted that he had had an affair. ( i knew that he had) He had a car out the front of my house and as he was no longer living with me and hadnt been for a few weeks, and after what he had just told me he would never again live with me ever. I decided that i was going to get drunk very drunk and load all of his possesions that were still at my house into his car out the front and i was going to set fire to the lot including my wedding photos. I did get drunk but luckily i didnt set fire to the car as it probably would have set my house on fire and my kids wouldnt have any photos. I had a hangover from hell the next morning and to this day 9YRS later i still hate him.

Its a good decision that you are not revenge, co'z to revenge is not good for us, must better to keep silent than to be like them. Much better to keep out mouth shut than shout them also. Co'z one day they can realize how we good we are not to revenge them and they just wonder why they act like that to us. God says "if someone throw you a stone just throw them back some bread" it is so hard to unserstand why but much better to love your enemy than to fight them back... For me I never fight them back co'z I dont want to be like them....

This happens to me pretty often...their are times when certain class of people just boss others and gain meaningless fun from it...and these are the times when i start losing my head and think nothing but to get back at these rookies...i just keep planning different strategies to teach the despicable fools a lesson but as time slowly passes by, i lose my zeal and start thinking that maybe forgiving is not a bad option...
Basically, when a person is hot in his head...he loses the ability of judgement..but gradually as he comes around...he realises that revenge begets more revenge and it might become the sole cause for loss of the total human race and that is when he learns to forgive...

You sound alot like me. Over the years I have plotted many revenges in my mind because people canbe so hurtful to me when there is no excuse at all for it. I think of ways to get back at them and hurt them also. Then I start thinking that I wouldn't want it done to me and I do not want to get in trouble for doing such things. I just forget about and move on, but I do get a kick out of the things I come up with that I would use to get back them though, LOL.

We are all human and make mistakes. The good people or the ones that never follow through on those vengeful thoughts. I to have laid in bed and had countless nights of plotting revenge against my ex-inlaws but have never carried them out. I think it is a form of healing sometimes, then you get past and move on and everything is okay. I believe in Karma, what goes around comes around.

I think I've lay in bed and plotted revenge many a time but only once have I gone through with it and glued my ex's windscreen wipers to the car and put glue in his locks but BOY did he deserve it! Yes you are the better person for not acting on it!

Yes I consider my self a devot christian but after 10 years of marrige to my first husband I found pout he was cheating. I did however keep my anger to myself so that I coulde prepare to leave him without him kicking me out with nothing which is what he would have done!
Then when I was ready to leave I came home to find my children nao at home and My husband had taken them to HER HOUSE! wow was I angry I was so angry i thought I was gonna kill her! The first thought was to take a baseball bat to her car until it was unrecongnizable! thats all I could think over and over I plotted in my head! But eventually i got over it!

I've been told more than once that i have a deadly temper, but the thing is It's only in the heat of the moment that my vengeful evil thoughts take over. Once the moment has passed I can't seem to keep my conviction to make that person pay. My anger just flys away and I just can't see why it bothered me so much. Only twice I got so mad that I could have severly hurt literally but the situatino was not in my control so didn't inflict any wounds but I could barely walk for how angry I was and it's because someone dissed a member of my family horridly, but I have never exacted vengence before.

you did the right thing...if i were also in your shoes though my heart is full of hatred and revenge i wont do such thing that i know in the end I will also suffer. It's only a start of new trouble...courage and bravery is not measure by taking a revenge rather it is being a nice person if the others can't...the greatest revenge is putting the person in guilt so be nice all the time....

My ex-boss was the most unreasonable, inconsistent, backbiter, and pretentious person i've ever known, i hated her guts of taking credit to the good works she didnt worked hard for. Almost, if not all, people from the office actually despise her because she is really a nosy person and sometimes no big deal situations become complicated and end up some people having misunderstand because of her. Anywyas, there was a time i was already soo fed up with her that i thought of putting needle pins on her chair but of course it wasn't carried out and im glad i didn't. I left her instead and that was a big blow on her because for many months now her work has been on hold, she havent found a replacement for me to carry out the job.
My conscience is still clean and i can sleep well at night.

LOL yeah. There was this two girls who blamed me for doing something I didnt do. This made a whole bunch of our friends mad at me. Things are ok now but I did planned for revenge. I wouldnt go into details about it but the important thing is that I didnt fight fire with fire. The truth eventually came out in the end.

I have plotted revenge a couple of times. Some of these times I have gone through with it, but most of the time I do not. I once plotted this revenge scheme on an ex boyfriend, I never actually went through with it. Which I am glad about because I would have regreted it. But I did write a story about it, which I feel is one of my best stories ever.

ya i do agree.being human is to err.it happened when i was madly in love with my colleague during my first job.initially he chased me.showered me with all the gifts n used to talk so sensibly ,so as to impress me.i was apprehensive initially but later felt that i too truely loved him.once he asked me out for a dinner.i kept on waiting ,bt he never turned up n later another colleague told me that he got engaged that day .i felt dumped n too angry as to think of going to his house n disclose our relationship to all n humiliate him in front of all.but thankfully i never did it..lateri came to know that he had so many other illicit relations too.god had saved me in a way .or else i wud have never been happy later in my life..
