Mental or Physical?
Us or our families?-
In any way they can....be it mentally, physically or emotionally...

it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. -
In the words of the great madea........u gotta get the gotters -
With me I don't really care. I'm pretty much not going to get hurt by anyone. Do some serious damage to a member of my family or one of my close friends, and whoever did it better hope the police get to them before I do.

Where I come from vengeance is always multiplied.
It cuts down on vengeance. -
Physically-I'm too tough
Emotionally-I don't take what anybody says or thinks seriously enough to care. -
Hardly ANYONE ever annoys me that bad; however there was this one person once who acted like a total asshole after she lived with us rentfree for a few months; stormed out of here and starting leaving catty text messages on my guys phone, so what I did do was get into her dating site (which she conveniently left open on my computer) and changed her profile essay to reflect her true nature as if it were written in her own words; the weirdest thing was, she STILL kept getting hits from guys....LOL
I know that was an 8th grade thing to do but it felt so GOOD at the time.... -
OMG! I am in agreement with Freak! (I read somewhere he has the clap!)
>:-D-
lol

The best kind of revenge is showing that you don't care and getting on with your life. It really gets on their nerves.-
Right on! ... lol
Hanging onto bitterness and anger only poisons you inside without having any affect at all on the person you are angry at. You can actually make yourself both physically and mentally sick by hanging onto self righteous indignation or choosing to pursue revenge. When you choose to hold onto a grudge you give your power away. I choose not to give my power away. Wherever possible I forgive and in all cases, I move on. (I have an excellent memory. )

I used to want revenge and fight back but I've learned what timethief said about hanging onto bitterness only poisons us. Now I let stuff go. Not worth it. -
I would agree with TT on MOST - but NOT all cases.
I have a situation right now - that I intend to get even with - NOT because I have to be right...
Because what I am involved in - IF I win - what happened to me will NEVER be allowed to happen again.
And that is important to me. -
Naw..I let the Universe take care of that for me.But I have been known to get in a bar fight or two...Does that count?? -
I would remove myself from the path of someone who hurts others. But I would not hurt back, because in doing so I hurt myself. That is not how I want or choose to live. My "revnege" is not going to help that person change (if there is any chance they will). Someone who carries out hurtfull acts is already hurting deeply. However that doesn't mean we have to let them hurt us; we can let them go and move on. -
If it's emotional, I will extract myself from dealing with them. If it's physical, I would defend myself. But aside from a fourth grade fist fight with the school bully, and getting mugged for my Halloween candy one year, I can say fortunately, I haven't been put in that position. -
Hurting back is focusing your energy on something destructive.
I'd rather focus on improving my life - being happy is the best "revenge". -
Too bad I am not good at hurting people.. so I will just let go of it and live my life. -
No, I just keep quiet and let the world do something for her... -
It depends on what kind of "hurt" you're talking about.
If someone attacks me physically, I will defend myself, and they will get hurt. If someone attacks me verbally, I may also engage in a verbal fight, and they may get hurt (although I doubt there would be much hurt on either side of that, really).
If someone hurts me emotionally, I don't seek revenge. That's dumb, a waste of time and energy, and all of the time spent on planning their revenge is really them winning. So, no. -
It is not worth to live our lives harboring ill feelings for others and waiting for the time to revenge upon someone that has done us wrong. This is a dead end way of living life. Most of the time it costs more time and effort to avenge a wrongdoing than to simply forget. It is a painful process. It takes time and effort to practice forgiveness, as it does not happen overnight, and it will take humility to recognize and acknowledge angry feelings. But if we ask our heavenly Father for a gift of forgiveness, He will surely help us. Hatred retards our spiritual development and growth. -
Don't think about the people that hurt you, think about the people that you hurt.
-
hmmmm I go by whatever goes around comes around and they always get their come uppins in the end
that's the best revenge I think. -
In most cases in my life I have just let things go, but I think if someone ever intentionally hurt my wife or son I'd definitely retaliate. -
It depends. If you know you'll never see the person again, it might be good to let it go, depending on the situation. But if it's someone you know you will see again, it could very well turn into a bully situation if you don't hit back, so you have to. -
an eye for an eye-
and you both end up blind
