Revenge is not sweet and not better served cold! Let it go!

No matter how hard it is to  even consider the notion, let alone implement the practice of a 'no revenge policy' in your life, I am sorry to inform you that should you choose to continue in life without this, the prognosis for your life is not good!

The act of revenge removes your rights to claim any injustice was done by said person and cancels out the said injustice.

In effect you are letting them off the hook and justifying the dreadful deed they have done to you by doing something as bad if not worse!

Now surely that's not the way for one as wise as you who has been so badly wronged by a lesser person!

Two wrongs don't make a right, they just cancel each other out. In the case of vengeance more often than not, not only does it cancel it out and take the sting out of the first act, by nature of it being the most recent event, it's seen in isolation with the reasons justifying your actions as fair not taken into account with your act of vengeance being judged solely on it's own merits. Sad as it is human nature is to not question the reasons why you may have acted in a certain way and to focus more on what you did regardless of what was done to you first!

So someone wrongs you and your angry and want revenge for many reasons.

They have disrespected you. They have made you look stupid. They think they can treat you like that and get away with it.
They have got one up on you.
They need to learn they can't fuck with you and get away with it.

No matter whether it was intentional or not, you take it personally and feel like unless you take revenge, they and others, will think your a joke and a coward and that it's ok to treat you like that!

You deliver your vengeance on them and initially feel good about it....
However the feel good factor passes quickly and does not change anything about what they did to you. What's done is done and no amount of vengeance can change that!

More often than not, you end up feeling remorse for your actions and that you stooped to their level.

I guarantee that your revenge has not taught them a lesson or made them sorry for what they did either. They will no doubt be sorry for themselves if anything but more likely they will be angry and planning their act of revenge on you.

Congratulations you have been sucked in and are now locked into the game!

• Instead of take revenge why not give them a lesson in morality by way of a good dressing down that makes it perfectly clear that they should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have acted! This way will not only put them in their place, it will put you in your rightful place by showing themselves up as beneath you

Personally when someone wrongs me, I let it go and cut them out of my life. As a believer in the laws of karma my thirst for vengeance is quenched by knowing that the moment I take matters in to my own hands, I interfere with the laws of karma and no matter what I was to do, it would never be the lesson that Karma would bring and would also then bring to me my own karma.

Leave it to the experts to deal with I say and waste no more time and energy on it.

When you are wronged by someone, it's shame on them and not on you!

Do not let their poor conduct have any impact on your life!
