Is revenge sometimes justified?

Keep in mind that this could be revenge by gossip, physical, whatever

It probably makes you feel better temporarily, but it doesn't fix anything, so in the long run, not really, no.

Revenge just makes you that much more bitter then you already were, IMO...

I think the satisfaction of revenge depends on the particular situation at hand! Sometimes revenge can be "sweet"!

Also, there is that little bit of "getting them back" feeling!

Hmmm....example:

OK...say there is this top notch computer you want to buy, and you have been bragging to your friend how great it is!

OK...he jumps down to the store and gets it for himself...with no regard to your plans to get it! You go to get it...it's gone! You find out later that your friend bought it out from under you!

Time passes, and he all of a sudden has a problem with it! He also knows you been in the repair business for 30 years, and asks you to help with fixing the problem!!!
Ah ha...now your turn to explain to him that as much as you would like to help...you feel reluctant to do so, because of the way he bought it before you could get it! (sweet revenge)

I know this is a rough example...but was the quickest thing I could come up with at 1am!

That's more like spite actually, which is even better than revenge. I can be very spiteful when provoked.pitchfork

Even though it would feel good temporarily, lowering yourself
to someone elses level is a waste of time and energy.

Besides...sometimes non-action or non-response ticks them off
more.:tongue: :wink:

I know this off topic...but for just a moment:

I was posting the dancing banana, and listening to Elvis's "All Shook Up"! Wow, you would not believe how that little banana keeps the tempo to the song...weird!

OK...back to our regularly scheduled program already in progress!

I think that plotting revenge with a trusted friend can be VERY therapeutic, a way to vent your frustrations over the situation that has angered or hurt you. Just talking about all the things you would/could do IF you were that kind of person helps release the bad feelings.

I can think of one time when I acted out a revenge...wrote my son's birth date in soap all over my (then) boyfriend's car after he stood my 2 year old son up for the plans he made with him to celebrate his 2nd birthday. Don't mess with Mom's!!!

To me Revenge is throwing good energy after bad energy. Better to apply all your energy to your own success and let people fail from their own bad Karma. When they "get theirs", and they always do sooner or later, that you have moved on to better and brighter days makes them all the sweeter.

...I know it takes a "bigger person" to just walk away after being hurt by another person and or a loved one. But I have to admit I have done both in my 50 some years. It all depends if you ask me. I once through a butterscotch cream pie in the face of a guy I had been going with for sometime, all I will say is ... he had it coming!

It happened in a neighborhood bar..(where else?)
I also cut out a large piece so when I returned home after "the event" I ate it! So now you all know why I have the nickname meanmarthajean.
