The basis for movies and countless stories of fiction and fact. It conjures up images of getting back, achieving justice, and reciprocity. But, with that are also negative feelings and energy. To what benefit?
If someone has harmed you in any way, what will revenge do? Will you truly feel that you have attained some benefit and how long will the satisfaction truly last?
Is our revenge not that the other person has to deal with themselves daily? They are who they are and will remain that way. The harm they inflicted on you, the lack of apology, and the inability to acknowledge fault reflect purely on them and who they chose to be.
You have your revenge. You remain whole, and they stay them.
