one of my friend betrayed me and made up stories that ruined my name. and it affected my confidence and my dignity.. the only way to forgive him is to do the same thing he did to me. that will fare it all up.. and oh.. i even think that it couldn't change anything if i avenge my self but at least i will feel better..

Forgiveness project one as a god..he is equal to god!Well not our hurt, but the other one who we forgived. Just a simple but tough logic..dont expect anything..you can easily forgive any one for their mistakes.

hello, i have the same experience before and i have even thought of revenge myself. no.. that is not the solution. have you ever heard about making yourself a success, even better, is the best revenge of all. when you stoop down to the level o the person who hurt you, the cycle is just never ending and even if you feel better, that is temporary. why not let go of the feeling, let go of the anger and just try to make yourself worthy of anything else. i am quite sure that if the person who destroyed your name in the past will see how much you have improved, i am sure seeing that stunned look in his face will be the most rewarding piece you will have as a revenge.

Yes! you may feel better, by taking your revenge... But i would say, you will feel your best when you stand for truth, chanel all your anger for the betterment of yourself and top of all humiliate him by proving that he is wrong in front of the others he cares the most. (Recommended solution) AND IF YOU REALLY WANT YOUR REVENGE?? You could always have your "sweetest revenge". Attacking upfront and personal is not the solution here.... Attacking from within will destroy him the most....start from the people he cared the most....this is the most evil advice.....but the question is are you willing to hurt other people to hurt him more than he had hurt you???

I really can not see the reason for revenge. I was never a vengeful person to begin with. I think it has something to do with not wasting my time. You are really just playing into their hands the ones that caused you the grief in the first place. If you move on and try to forget it then you will find it easier to deal with future issues. I know that it isn't always easy to forgive and forget. That friend of yours must not have really cherished anything about your friendship from the jump anyway. No need to fare up friend. You could be gaining more important friendships with others that won't treat you like this. I would just stay a little more guarded when choosing your friends. There are a lot of people out there. You never know. You could befriend someone that is very good to you and you will soon forget what that friend did to you. Do it for yourself kid.

If you are well at the tactics of having a revenge,then go ahead.But if you are naturally soft and generous,then you cannot fulfill the revenge and you will be sorry for what have you attempted later.Decide yourself before taking a revenge.Cheers!

Your friend is terrible, he has no worth make you to do anything else. I think maybe the best way is to forget him then stand up to find your confidence back. It is foolish to waste time to consider how to revenge on him.
