Living well is the best revenge

I'm not consumed by my desire for revenge on one particular person, but I am very content in knowing that I'll exact it some day. 20 years from now? 30? I dunno.

Exactly , never give it a second thought really but in the very very back of my mind is this, suppose it comes down to the type of personality you have. Good thread whoever started it, i came across it on the homepage and had to look.

Victim may have suffered decades of pain as a consequence of the abusers actions, how could they equalise?

Then the abused should do likewise.

Let the abuser suffer for decades.

If you need to commit an act of revenge on a person... the best way to do it is to hurt those closest to them. If you break the bully’s legs, he goes to rehab, works hard to achieve the ability to walk again, the satisfaction to achieve and to re-enter the cycle of normal life. Smiling and worse then ever before.

If you choose to hurt those closest to them a different story, they can only sit back and look on. The desperate feeling of despair, not being able to do anything and knowing they are the deep down responsible and that their actions have resonated full circle. Bullies need to be nipped in the bud. Fight fire with fire, I have known the full force of their actions and learned a hard lesson, next time..

Surely living well would be more enjoyable than having bags of built up anger to throw about.

If he attacks you every month, how does "living well" stop him attacking you every month?

Sometimes the only way that could happen is if the victim turned into the kind of cruel person the abuser was, thus another victory for the abuser

Bar killing them, you can't really even the score which is why what was done in the first place is so unforgivable

Ideally one should be the bigger person and get on with life.

Sadly that is not always a viable option.

If one has an opportunity for revenge it should be taken. An eye for eye and all that.

In these uber cuddly times that's seen as extreme and maybe it is, but I personally wouldn't hesitate and indeed haven't in the past to get even and I will certainly do it again if and when the opportunity presents itself.

I was beaten up badly one night in an unprovoked attack by a group of individuals. Seen the main ringleader a while back that used to live in my estate, he's a drug addict now. He asked me for €2 for a "bus , then his face dropped when he recognised me. I just grinned and kept walking.

There is another guy that mugged me when I was young. I used to see him in the City Centre begging and sniffing solvents. A lot of self satisfaction in that.

Just carry on, do the best for yourself. Bad people usually get their cumupance and lead miserable lives. They end up screwing with somebody that is even badder then they.

Not always true, the idea of karma is a largely false one.

That's even more creepy than laughing at someone passing away. :eek:

Why on earth should someone's family suffer because they are arseholes?

Totally agree, some of the biggest ****heads I know live great lives.

In a lot of ways these kinds of people are able to live great lives because they are dickheads.

You will get nowhere in this life being honest and upstanding all the time and frankly you have to have a bit of nasty in you to get along.

Always be decent and a gentleman, but never be afraid to bend things to your advantage.

Unpopular opinion here I'm sure but nice guys finish last.

I wouldn't give someone whos hurt you the satisfaction of letting them know they got to you, feeling angry/hurt over something they did doesn't hurt them, it only hurts yourself. People like that very rarely feel any guilt or regret for their behavior and nothing you do will change that, it also wont change what happened, by taking revenge youre lowering yourself to their level and making yourself as bad as them. Leave them to it, erase them from your life and take it as a lesson learned.[/QUOTE]

I posted earlier in the thread about being satisfied that in the back of my mind that if it took 20/30 years to get revenge it wouldnt bother me, only that at some stage i would. Them knowing /finding out it was me doesnt even come into it. They'll never know who it was tbh, but I WILL. Thats where my satisfaction will derive from.
