Are you a vindictive type?

Hi, clorissa123. No, I don't have time to get back at them. I will just move on and let the old fashioned Karma kick in. I always believe that what goes around comes back around. So, when someone does me wrong, they best believe that Karma is going to pay them a dear visit. And when it does, the damage that they have done to me will be done back at them ten times worse! I don't wish any harm on them, they have already done this to themselves. It is not nice to do someone wrong.

I would not say I am vindictive although I do feel bad when someone does something wrong to me. I learned to let slights and hurts slide by me. I don't allow them to stick in my mind because it would be worse. Cheers!!

I used to think that it is important to avenge a wrong but I discovered early on that it makes no sense on many levels. It only escalates the problem. These days, I just let god or karma or the universe take care of righting a wrong. Cheers!!

There are persons who does not know how to forgive and instead of abstaining from their company it is best to encourage them. All of my friends left my friendship after what my ex boyfriend did to me. The question was that they cannot believe that I forgive him so quickly. But what is the reason for me to be vindictive towards him. God says that we should leave all vengeance to him. All of the persons who have done me wrong in the past because I never retaliated and I left this up to God I have seen their demise and it is worse than what I had been through. You see it is best to leave things in God's unchangeable hands. As long as you know that your heart is in the right place then you don't have to worry. But my advice to you is not to feel horrible around these person but to instead encourage them that this way will only be doing more harm than good.

When you carry anger you are carrying a load that you don't need to. There have been people who have hurt me in the past...some I've forgiven and some I haven't...but I don't let them continue to infect my life or my happiness. I just don't associate with them anymore...don't let them enter my thoughts. If I set my mind on thoughts of revenge the person I was angry at would still be in my mind and keeping me from being at peace.

When I was younger I simply could not forgive people who did me wrong. I didn't try to get revenge but I didn't really forgive them either. I don't know that I've forgiven everyone, but I discovered very quickly, like someone else said here, that I don't have to do anything in return. God (I think it's God) or the universe or karma or whatever always seems to teach such people lessons eventually. I really don't have to do anything to retaliate. I just go away and leave them alone and they soon are floundering around with something they brought on themselves it seems. Now I find myself just feeling kind of sorry for people like that, but on the other hand the one blessing in previously dealing with such individuals is I recognize this type immediately now and such people just aren't allowed anymore to become a big part of my life. Makes me much happier not having to deal with them now.
