If you are in despair or feeling that you are in a hopeless situation, never lose your faith or your confidence in yourself.

would a reflex reaction count? like spitting in their coffee?

When Someone Does You Wrong..Don't Start Plotting Revenge

ohomen171 says

Sit back and relax. They will always get their punishment.

"Son if someone does you wrong and is bad to you, don't get angry and start plotting revenge. Sit back and relax. They will always get their punishment."

I then made a list of the people who had been really bad to me and done terrible things to me.

Isn't making an enemies list the FIRST step towards enacting revenge?

I don't believe in karma - I have no idea why anyone would, given the records of guys like Nixon, Stalin, Mao, and Trump.

Psychopaths do isolate themselves - Stalin essentially lived out his life in a prison of his own making, but it's hard to know if he really cared.

I think the true secret of this is not giving a shit. Looking back on the worst assholes I have known, it seems most were already miserable, which is why they were assholes. But I don't know, and I don't care, because it's boring, and they're boring and unimportant, and I don't have the time to think of people who don't amount to anaerobic bacteria in the grand scheme of things.

It's not so much a belief that they'll inevitably pay for their sins - a belief I don't share - but an utter indifference to them one way or another. Because if you really care one way or another about that ex, or that 14-year-old who kicked your ass when you were 11, they'll own a part of your brain.

Yawn...

I don't rent space in my brain to assholes.

One day, after watching a particularly abject co-worker complain about her ex-husband, long since out of her life, I resolved to stop judging my exes, to stop even thinking about my exes, for several months. A period of professional and spiritual happiness ensued. I have now made it permanent - any time the scratched-up old newsreel of pointless rehashing starts to play, I look at kitten pics, or visualize Kim Jong-Un being executed in elaborate ways.

By the way: given the (a) totally unreliable nature of eyewitnesses (including you), and (b) the even shittier recollections we have even months after an event, you don't accurately remember what happened. So if you torment yourself at all about the past, it's like sulking over fiction.

If you can't bring yourself to believe in Buddhist karma, try living in the present, which happens to be a Buddhist recommendation.

Think about the worst thing someone ever said or did to you. Realize that they don't care now, and that 7 billion other people, who weren't there, don't care either, whether or not they heard about it. That leaves at most one person who cares. Why not join the other 7 billion and stop caring? Every brain cell devoted to such things leaves less room for images of Kim Jong-Un being torn to pieces by kittens.

I'm still mad at the millions of other sperm that were trying to get in my way.

I'll echo most of what señor cabron said. It's not worth remembering or reliving past hurts or remaining angry at those who've hurt you. Hating someone is like taking poison and hoping they die of it: pointless and masochistic.

That said, most of the truly evil stuff that will get done to you is done by people who get their jollies from inflicting pain on others. It's best to simply avoid such people, sometimes at any cost. If they are family members, the rule still applies. Stay the duck away, even when it's rude to do so. You won't be missing out on anything good.

If you have a job you rent brain space to assholes 8-12 hrs a day.

Have you ever believed that you were mortal enemies with a person only to learn that they don't even remember who you are, let alone the incident that made the person your enemy in the first place? That'll take you down a few notches.

Karma exists just look at people like Mel Gibson and Kim Kardashian, oh wait..

ohomen171 says

Not true, but also not important. What's important is to not waste what little time you have in existence on something as non-productive and unfulfilling as revenge.

Revenge made sense in the Stone Age, when tolerating slights decreased your chance of mating and increased your chance of getting killed or starving to death. It does not make sense in the modern world where there are 7+ billion people and you rarely have to interact with same people more than once if you don't want to.

Put simply, revenge is an obsolete emotion.

True, but it's better than renting your ass-space to brainiacs.

Dan8267 says

better than renting

No chance of renting that, with Bop69 and TOB giving it away free.

Well, you kicked their tails, all 250 million of them. You got even, don't get mad.

The whole idea of revenge is a myth, it does not exist.

What you run into is your own creation and your unwillingness to take responsibility for that creation.

It is the reason why the Psych's idea of projecting works so well as a touchstone.

Speaking from experience no doubt...

Anger is an emotion.
Revenge is an act.....jesus christ...wtf??

Well if your father was left leaning, you probably only had to beat out 24 or so lollygagging libtards riding a processed pisswave of some Kenyon Beer concoction.

Nah, the right leaning ones just kept swimmng in circles but strict adherance to dogma kept them from doing anything else.

that may or may not be, but I like the odds of 250,000,000 righties denying yolk privileges to 25 lefties...

Bullshit. Some people never learn, never have to face the music. They create drama, are horrible assholes and believe that the world revolves around them. There are many people I've come across that fit that mold.

Fuck 'em.
