Revenge: Does it really give you satisfaction? Does it make the pain go away?

I was wondering for a long time now,

Does Revenge give me satisfaction?
Does Revenge make the pain go away?
Share you Revenge stories here!

I'm thinking of taking Revenge, but i'm just wondering if it will make me feel good after I do.

 

nope never ...

you can even punch the person back ... it won't take away the grudge .... i decided to let everything go and be a happy person ...

as they it takes more muscle to frown than to smile

 

Revenge is always good, if it's done properly. If not, you just look stupid. It helps in a vindictive way, but doesn't really make you feel like "they got what they deserved", you'll eventually feel guilty again.

 

Revenge doesnt undo the damage but it does make me feel better.

 

I'm kind of revenge person i don't like people to take me over like a fool

But revenge doesn't makes pain and disapointment go away .... but it makes feel me bether for the moment ...

 

It never quite goes away.

By the way, did you watch that documentary on ABC about revenge the other night?

 

Yeah revenge just makes you feel better at the moment and thats it.

I don't remember where I heard it, but someone once said 'When planning revenge, make sure you did two graves' (one for them, and one for yourself).

I tend to find this is generally the case, revenge normally only makes things worse.

 

Revenge is never good. It might give you temporary relief but in the long run you'll still feel bad.

 

It gives me a feeling of a job well done.
And it IS 'best served cold'

 

Lifes to short to hold grudges!

 

Revenge just leads you to lowering yourself to the level of he who has wronged you. Best to just strive to do the best you can for yourself, then the other person doesn't even matter anymore.

 

Does it give you satisfaction: yes
DOes it make the pain or humiliation go away: Only if done by a professional.

 

i won't pretend to be a saint and say revenge's not good so don't do it and all that stuff. revenge IS good, but only if you do it right. when i take my revenge (quite seldom though), i do it in such a way that the only person who realized i'm taking revenge is the person being revenged upon. other people won't be able to know it.

i'll give you an example. there's this girl (A) who humiliated me quite a few times in public. i decided this isn't gonna work if i just sit around and take it all in like a fool. but i'm not gonna humiliate her like how she did me, because that's gonna make me look dumb. and she's a girl. there's no way i'd win in sympathy votes.

what i did, i befriended another girl (B) whom i know is a rival of A. A is just absolutely jealous of, and hates, B (no prize for guessing why). I befriended B, and then introduced B to A's friends whom I am friends with. and say really nice things about B.

revenge taken, problem solved, no one realised.

 

Well getting revenge may satisfy your urge for a payback for someone who has wronged you but it certainly does not make you sleep better at night.

 

Nice revenge.
I thing revenge is good but if you do it some nice way like devin did
I personally thing FORGIVE AND FORGET. Live and Let Live

 

No, as a Christian, revenge is not something I get satisfaction from. I feel more rewarded when I forgive and forget.

 

Ok OK .. are you all trying to act as saints or what.
So your telling me somebody hurt you in a way that affected your life.
Your going to sit there and let it fly? I just can't...

 

When someone have caused me physical or emotional pain, I usually ignore that person. They become invisible for a day, aweek, or until such time that I'm okay from the pain that they've caused. Maybe in a way that's my revenge or my way to lick my wounds.

 

Forgiveness is greater than revenge. The person who has wronged you will himself feel guilty for it. Perhaps not now , maybe in a few years time , he will feel bad about having rubbed you the wrong way. You yourself will also feel better by forgiving him or her. Dont forgive for a better afterlife , forgive for a better cleansed soul in this life says the bhagwad geeta. Forgiveness is even a greater act if one is in a higher position than the one who is wronged.
