Does a little revenge do a body good?

I wouldent put revenge at the top of your things to do because it always seems to backlash espespecialy if it has to do with school.

Forgiveness is key. Not directly to the person but in your mind. If you can do that you’ll find you’re a much better person and the need for revenge will leave you. Revenge just carries on the hatred and we certainly don’t need more of that in this world.

I don’t do revenge anymore. It really isn’t the healthiest way for me to deal with my feelings. I just wind up feeling crazier in the long run.

No, but milk does!

I usually spend some time going over each little revenge detail with excruciating accuracy, savoring how perfectly it all went off in my mind…then decide that revenge is childish, not to mention that not only is karma a b:tch but much more poingant than I could ever be, and then spend some time reveling in my smugness at being so mature. ;)

I think that thinking about revenge can do a mind some good. I don’t usually partake in revenge, but I do enjoy imagining what can happen to people who do me harm. It doesn’t take up too much time and I never lose focus on my real life.

Revenge is bad karma, absolutely, but the body doesn’t know philosophy, and it craves
revenge like it craves white sugar. I think a tiny bit of revenge, especially the smug type
you have when you see the other person’s bad karma catch up to them (passive revenge), DOES do a body good, because a body is primitive, like a lizard, and likes
unevolved treats.

There is an old saying that goes something like this: Vengeance is best served cold. I like that because you never do the best thing for anyone involved if you act out of anger. if someone has done something to make me extremely angry, I like to take my time and think of ways I could get them back. I think of some really good stuff, but I never act it out. In choosing to do nothing, I am ahead of the game. I secretly know I could do something to make that person really miserable, but make myself the better person for not acting on it. It makes me a winner every time!

I never took revenge in any way possible I always got in mind Dont do to others want you don’t want to get. And my anger always faded or disappear.

Nah! if they can’t take a fuck, joke’em

I find the idea of revenge too time-consuming. Karma has nothing to do with it, and like religion, karma is a flawed concept when studied under the pure light of skepticism. why do I keep saying crap like that, I am such an asshole sometimes :-). Besides, the Chinese have a proverb. “A man who seeks revenge should dig two graves before starting down that road.”

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. To feel indifference towards someone who has wronged you is the ultimate revenge, and the best part is, it takes no energy whatsoever. I’ve discovered that people that have fucked me over usually end up doing more to themselves than I could ever hope to do to them with revenge.

But if you must seek revenge, then visit a book store, get as many of those little magazine order cards out of the magazines as you can find, and sign the sucker up for every magazine known to Man. Get everybody you know to save them for you, too. That is a lot of fun, and gives me a chuckle every time I do it.

No. It does the exact opposite. Revenge is filled with only negative emotions, disdain, resentment, etc. Therefore even though it’s revenge, which means to get back someone or something that’s upset/hurt you..Those feelings, what you did for revenge will evenly get back to you.

Basically, two wrongs don’t make a right.

@onesecondregrets, two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do. :-)

Nice wording of a GQ, imo.

Revenge is bad and wrong; it usually comes back to hurt the one acting upon it – and rarely satisfies. I know from experience.

All that Kill Bill crap – best served cold – don’t believe it. The best revenge is living well.
