Revenge ain't gona change the fact that you are hurt. It can't compensate for that pain you fill. Rather focus your mind on other things that are comforting or productive. Invest that time, energy and valuable resource to some other profitable thing. Two wrongs never make a right.

Hello anurag, I'm not sure what has the person done to you, as you didn't mention it. My suggestion is, if you really hate that person, try to do something in a proper and legal way to show that you are 100 times better than him / her, let the person feel the real pain and unforgettable...

When your emotions are too high, sometimes you would want to get back at whomever had hurt you. It's normal for us to think this way but it's something we shouldn't do. We should even try very hard not to have these thoughts. It's a no-win situation. For one thing, just thinking of getting revenge would cause you lots of stress. And if you do indeed exacted revenge, the guilt of doing it would also be burdensome on you. So the best option really is to forgive. Sometimes the best option is the hardest to do but it gives you the greatest satisfaction

Be cool anurag. Revenge is not the best option to change someone. You better to wait sometime then proceed. But it is not clear why you are angry with that person. Have a nice time.

Seeking revenge will lower you to the level of the person whom you hate. I have observed the most vile and hateful people do horrible things to others, and then I will see them get paid back in kind without my having to do anything. It's referred to as karma. I know that it isn't always as satisfying as revenge, but knowing that it will happen to those who are hateful and nasty does help enormously with your anger. I had a neighbor that I treated with the greatest of kindness and respect. I loved them like my own parents and did for them like I would do for my own parents. One day everything changed. I was met at the door by a raving screaming woman who declared that I had stolen a sewing machine from them and sold it and had given them a piece of "crap" in exchange. I was floored as the sewing machine (which I had borrowed) was the one that they had owned for 9 years. I ended up in court listening to them sling the most horrible accusations at me, under oath. I won the case and they sought revenge by trying to get me thrown out of my home. It didn't work. In 2010, when everything happened, it was discovered that the woman had Alzheimer's and she passed away December 1, 2010. The husband then was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. It has steadily spread and he has weeks left to live. He is in the most horrible pain a person can imagine as the cancer is in his intestines, lungs, liver, kidneys and bowels. He is totally friendless. He's now in a nursing home because no one will step forward to help the man out, for fear of retaliation from him. At one point he fell and spent three days on the floor because no one ever stopped by to visit the man. The three days were spent in horrible pain and of course it was bone chilling cold. As all of our neighborhood has stated, the man's karma has caught up with him, and he is living friendless and unhappy. So, as you can see, seeking revenge won't help matters a bit, allow that person's karma to catch up with them. Turn your back on that person and if nothing else, pretend that they don't exist and continue your life focusing on happy things and being kind to those around you.

Hi anuragv, The best advice I can give to to say that seeking revenge never helps but will only add to your problems. I know it's much easier to say than to do, but we must all try not to hate. When you think of the person again, see if there is at least one thing that you like about them, if not think of something that they are good at,(besides hurting people that is lol!). Move on with your life and don't let this person make you unhappy. Remember you are in control. Blessings.

Forget that person and move on with your life. Why be like that person? Be a better person than that person. Make the world a better place.

Revenge is never good. Your heart is already darkened with things done by this person. Do you want to make things worse by proving you are not much better? That is what revenge and hate do; they show you have the capacity to be as cruel as the one you wish revenge on. Why not find out more about this person and see WHY he/she acts so badly? Why not see if there is some way you can help this person be nicer, kinder, and good? If you do this, you will end up happier and you may save this person, too. Hugs, Maggie

What? If you hate this person why do you even care? Why is this person even entering your mind. Hate is a useless emotion and it destroys you.. it doesn’t hurt the other person. I think you need to just mind your own life and not seek revenge because that will make you into a person worse than the person you hate. It’s a small and spiteful person who wants to get revenge.

Just relax. You don't need to revenge if somebody hurts you. However, i am not saying that you will tolerate them on what they did, maybe you could do a move to fix things up but not with vengence.

fixing things will surely not help in my case

Revenge is an option, but far from being the best one. Take it from someone who's been there. It might make you feel better for a few moments but then it's gone and sooner all later you'll regret doing it. You'll regret not being the better man in all of it. It's not easy but if you forget and move on you really win.

Try to ignore that person & what he/she did to you.Keeping your distance from him/her would help you not think of him/her.

When one is seeking revenge or holding a lot of hatred, one is hurting oneself more that the other person. Forgiveness is a much more powerful resolution when you feel you have been wronged.. You may not be able to make this happen, but it will happen if you are willing for it to happen. Just be willing and you will find it a lot easier to let go and move on with your life. _Derek

I am a vengeful person and to tell you the truth that is not the best option but worst. Because it means that you are still having the feeling of hatred. It is true that you will feel better but then you won't be contented enough that you still want to revenge with that person more and more. Too bad that is my negative side in my case.

Some people will never learn, they will keep abusing, hurting, threatening other people. If you want them to stop you have to teach them a lesson. One they won't forget, so they won't repeat their behaviour. The question is: what is revenge? Will you dedicate your life to get someone back? Is it worth to give up your own life, luck and invest all your energy in that? Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with revenge at all but you should know when to stop and be able to see what is really worth fighting back for or not. It's easy to say you forgive, but forget is something different. No matter if you have your revenge or not, what happend to you is already happend! You have to live with it, give it a place in your life and take care/be aware this won't happen to you again! I wish you wisdom.

definitely revenge is not a good thing to do. just pray by heart that you forget all the pain that person have caused you and let go of that hatred feeling you feel for him/her. Letting go of that negative thoughts/feelings for that person would make your day brighter.

I don't think so that revenge is the best option. I think love is the best option.
