Revenge? A question.

[chic]

There is a favorite saying that revenge is a dish best served cold. IE. - unexpectedly and maybe when the person is least able to cope with this karma, if you will. I believe this is possible but what of those of us who react quickly to pain and someone doing us serious wrong? Some don't want to wait and I get it. Wouldn't you just like to lash out and maybe knock 'em out cold? What are your thoughts on this.

It's always been my way to let their own karma reflect to them whatever is deserved.
It's a complete waste of energy to even think about the behaviors of others.
Just let the situation come and handle it naturally and innocently.

I feel the anger but dismiss it from my mind as quickly as possible.
Why should I add to the disharmony when I can just give it to the multiverse?
let the "big guys " handle it! They've got my back!

I think revenge is juvenile. You lower yourself to the other person's level.

I agree with both, maybe revenge is a dish best left unserved, most of the time anyway...

 

[BC Flash]

I let it go - the other person IS probably going through unknown issues or having a "bad day". If this pattern persists, it will be a "wide berth" (ie ignore and/or avoidance)

A saying attributed to many people-

 

[LadyEmeraude]

As has been said over time by many ...

"An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. "

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Not interested in revenge.
If I were, I’d have no time to do anything else
I live my life with no intent on hurting others
This isn’t to say I never think of it
I believe what others do to us is their Karma
How we respond is ours
I’m not sure if this is true but do know that when I follow this , I feel good about myself.
If I took revenge I’d feel guilty which would ruin my existence

Yea I have gotten rather mellow in my old age. Not much bothers me anymore; nothing I can do about it anyways. Those idiots who ride your bumper and then zip around you--well I would rather have them in front of me than behind me! No percentage in getting upset.

Yeah, but daydreaming about can sometimes be fun.

[hearlady]

I'd rather dream up all kinds of sweet and hot revenge in my mind but then let karma take over the job.

 

[NorthernLight]

Sometimes I want to ask people why they did what they did. But then I realize that they live in a different world, and their explanation wouldn't make sense to me anyway.

 

[Beezer]

The best revenge against anybody is to live well.

 

[AprilSun]

Revenge only makes matters worse so why bother? That's the way I feel.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

In my younger days, I would have been all over revenge. But I have to admit, I was never really "avenged". Now, I've mellowed. Revenge takes too much effort, it rarely pays off, and like Chet said, its juvenile.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Yes, I believe in taking revenge, nothing too serious. I've done it and it was satisfying

 

[Born_To_Lose]

Never gave revenge much thought. If a friend gives me the shaft, we are no longer friends. If someone tries to set me up and that has happened, we don't business together again. I prefer to just turn my back on people that do me wrong and not turn to violence, at least not right away.

No one likes to get a raw deal, especially if it's from a supposed to be friend. I have had people hurt me emotionally, but life has taught me that I will get over it.

And smile often.

Well, I'm with the Captain on this. Who has not put a paper bag full of dog poop on someone's doorstep?

Absolutely.
When I was 12!

I haven't, @Lee !!! ... of course I don't have a dog either. I have this really annoying LOUD neighbor, though... maybe a German Shepherd should be in my future?

 

[jujube]

Well, I haven't done that but I DID balance a can full of pee on a doorknob once. And 57 years later, I'd like to apologize to my college dorm RA ........... well, on further thought, nope. She deserved it.

 

[Lee]

Well Kate, another good revenge tactic is to hang wind chimes if you don't like your neighbor. And don't go for the wimpy sounding ones, get some with a good loud clang.
