Depends on the caliber of the situation. For me on a personal level, yes. Maybe you should clarify your question if you want more specific answers.

I am only speaking theoretically and in generalities

I am not good with revenge, because it takes so much energy and consumes the being, I don't like to waste my energy on negative, however I won't help that person anymore and they will know I dont' like them..sometimes that is enough..

ok, it takes a lot to get me truely angry. But when someone deliberately does something f-ed up to me, or someone close to me, and doesn't feel bad about it, yes, revenge is VERY sweet and well worth it.

I think that revenge might feel good at the time if someone really, really hurt you but all in all it will just makes things worse for me it'd just make me feel guilty later but well I'm a ninny like that..

Couldn't have said it better myself.

No you are a wonderful and sweet person. The world will surely be a better place if we all think as you do

thank darlin' I have my moments though can be a brat sometimes ... and I used to think that I needed revenge for anyone that wronged me.. but I didn't.. It's far easier to walk away and forget then to have to remember being mean.. speaking for myself of course everyone is different...

The best revenge is sitting back and letting Karma take over...besides it allows me to be lazy.... you can't cheat Karma....

You are so much better of a person than I am, sweetie. When someone goes out of their way to hurt me for no reason, it's very hard for me to just be charitable about it. I would not feel guilty for letting them know just how bad it made me feel, so maybe they would feel guilty, then.

bitter is bad!

No never worth it, why waste your precious energy and time on that and lower yourself to their level? I choose to avoid negativity if at all possible and being able to let it 'go' and move on is probably the best revenge anyway.

Thank you hon.. I'm not a better person Hiker, I've just decided that well as some have said above... It takes time and energy and on top of that I would feel horrible... I have ripped people apart for doing something bad to me and then later felt so awful that it's not worth it to me.. revenge would be even worse for me.. I believe in Karma for myself as well as others so if I do something it's just going to turn around and bite me in the bottom later...

Sugar, it doesn't matter, most people who are vicious have delusions of grandure anyway, there's nothing you can tell them. They think what they think, but we know they lead pitiful, empty lives in the ground where they dug their grave.

aint worth it,does nothing to make any thing better.no point to it

For me it is not so much revenge that I seek when I am wronged, as it is the desire to let the person who hurt me know that they have done so. I want them to know and to understand and to feel ashamed. That is all I seek; not really vengeance so much as vindication. I would never plot an overt act of revenge; I might, however, state my case whenever I get a chance.

I understand what you mean... I was thinking more along those lines as well then remembered the actual question... Being understood and clearing the air or at least letting someone know they hurt you can be a good thing... Sometimes though it doesn't make a difference and it's just wasted energy... I just think unless someone has hurt your child or your family live and let live it's not worth the aggravation trying to convince someone they were wrong.. I've tried and decided I'd rather use the energy chatting with my friends here

As usual, you are right. And the ones who need to hear, never do.

it's unfortunate but so true at times... One thing I have realized over the last couple of years is that even though someone may do something to me... It's how I react that makes it significant or not... If I let it get to me then I have let them have control over me... THAT is unacceptable to me.. So I "try" to let most things go, sometimes it's hard to do but if I can't then I better after a few days otherwise I'm kicking my own butt...
