“Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.”

Albert Schweitzer

Today you wreck your revenge on him . Tomorrow he will come back with a greater revenge back on you . When will this vicious cycle end?

Pesonally I dont bother with revenge. If someone does something hurtful to me I focus on living the best life I can as I see that as a better form of revenge.

Those people who go out of their way to hurt others or are so selfish they dont realise their actions are affection others are often unhappy people ultimantly.

Hold your head up high....if you cant do this at least tell us what you have in mind for revenge lol

Danielepew agony auntThis opinion of mine will indeed sound like so cheaply sweetened a potion that your teeth will decay in no time. But this is what I can honestly tell you.

Have you tried forgiveness? Yes, it makes you feel like the other person got away with whatever he or she did. And indeed, that is often the case. This seems to be the option of people without a backbone. However, forgiveness sets you free, which is what I'm concerned about.

If someone has done you a lot of harm, quite naturally we tend to ruminate our grudge. That means we keep the damage alive. We can't go near the person, or see him/her, or whatever, without feeling that we were done damage and we need to get even.

When you let go of those feelings, the other person ceases to have an effect on you. You are free to move on to other interests. Whatever harm the other person did, it stays in the past, and time wears it off, little by little.

Here you are, a 21-year old at most. Don't waste your precious time remembering what someone did. Use your time to get the most out of life. Also, use your time to reflect about how it was that this person came to hurt you, and don't let it happen again.

eyeswideopen agony auntYep, Uncle Phil's right. Moving on and having a wonderful life is the sweetest revenge. Doing something nasty to somebody usually comes around and bites you in the butt.

I've not tried it directly - but I do know that I'm a lot happier and better off than she is in many ways. When we divorced she thought she'd got the better end of the deal. At the time she did, financially - house, car etc., but these days (22 years on) I'm in clover compared to her. Which is enough revenge I suppose!

Give it time - you'll feel better one day.
