Anyone wan’t to elaborate on why it felt so sweet?

Revenge was not sweet for me. It made me reflect on my own actions and myself as a person, and I didn’t like what I saw. Bittersweet it was.

Revenge is, generally speaking, the execution of a second wrong in an attempt to make things right.

Revenge is pointless. I mean yes it will make you feel a bit relieved but, in all actuality you’re no better than the other person.

2 wrongs don’t make a right, but 2 wrights made an airplane.

It was deliciously sweet—for about 15 minutes. I still carry guilt and cringe when I think of my behavior. So was it served cold…no, it was steaming hot…but it got cold awfully fast.

I have lots of revenge fantasies that I don’t act on. The planning and fantasizing is usually entertaining enough. The times where someone has pushed me enough to exact revenge (i.e. they really have to deserve it), yes, it was incredibly satisfying. There’s one example I’m thinking of that, 7 years later, still pleases me when I think of it. They totally had it coming, trust me. Revenge can be very sweet.

Some of you may remember that I asked for help here months ago with a so-called friend – a lawyer, no less – who borrowed a LOT of money and forgot he’d signed a note promising to pay it back. It took me six months of steady, initially fruitless meetings, phone calls, letters handed to him by neutral parties when he wasn’t guarding himself from being served, and threats of legal action, before he paid up. I enjoyed wanting to hurt him but I’m glad I didn’t.
Putting out that kind of energy keeps the whole thing going. What I really needed was to have it be over with. Flutheristas helped me think about how to make that happen.

This kid cut the tires on my car a few years ago. I ran into him a couple months later and I beat the shit out of him. I felt a lot better afterwards.

oasis's avatar

Thats the revenge i’m happy with.lol buster

augustlan's avatar

I’m always satisfied with a cutting final remark such as ‘You, sir, are a coward’. I don’t feel the need to take any further action.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

I’ve never had reason to get revenge on anyone. Plus, that’s just not my style.

Buster, that’s pretty funny, tho.

Hi Spenn! Causing trouble over here too?

nebule's avatar

I’m still waiting for mine to be served cold – on several unsuspecting victims…but having answered a question on forgiving and forgetting – and stating that I try to forgive and forget failingly, I really should make a decision and do one or the other…NOW…..hmmmmmm….
