Revenge is a Bad Idea

Revenge is a Bad Idea

  • If someone treats you poorly and rudely, then you don’t have to respond with rudeness, and if you do, then you’re only giving a justification for others’ rudeness. In the end, nobody can remember why it all started, so keep your cool. Anger always outlasts hurt.

  • Remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. So, don’t waste your time and energy on the negative. Be an example you’d like others to follow by being the bigger person by getting everyone out of the endless revenge loop.

  • In the long run, revenge might make you feel worse and create further trauma. So, it’s better to channel your energy into something positive moving forward.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
