    Do I believe it exists...absolutely!
    Do I subscribe to it...No, it requires way to much time and energy on my part and that energy could best be spent elsewhere in my life.

    Yes. But revenge in a positive way.

    For example, making yourself a better person is a good form of revenge.

    No, If someone does you wrong, It isn't worth lowering your standards to get even with them.

    Believe in it? I've SEEN it!

    Actually, I'm not a really vengeful person. I believe there is a reason why the Lord said vengeance is His. He can do it far better than anything I could dream up. I say turn Him loose on 'em and let Him at it.

    Same as the karma answers, basically.

    Editing my answer to add this:

    The best revenge is recovering from the pain they caused you. Gawd, they can't stand that!

    Hell, yeah. Not believing in revenge is like not believing in treachery. It happens, and it doesn't taste sweet.

    Depends on the situation. Always make room for forgiveness first and foremost, but keep in mind their are times when you need to screw people back for screwing you!

    I grew up in a home where I was taught to turn the other cheek to a very strong degree. I was bullied all the way through school and never stood up for myself. While the bullies were partly to blame, so was I for no doing anything about it.

    Sometimes people need forgiveness, and sometimes people need a lesson and deserve to be screwed back!

    As Donald Trump says, "If someone seeks your forgiveness, forgive them...but never trust them again. If you are in a situation where you have tried to settle things wisely yet someone is still screwing you, then screw them back harder than they screwed you!"

    Yes. When people wrong me, revenge is on my mind. I definitely have vengeful thoughts on women.

    Well yes, I believe in it so far as it happens, but I don't believe it's right. I also believe in karma, and I think revenge does lower your standards, nor does it achieve anything constructive.

    No.

    What goes around comes around - it will ALWAYS catch up with you in the end.
    Why waste time stooping as low as the other person, when you could spend time doing goodness, & feeling good about what you've done, knowing you are the better person?

    Revenge is bitter, not sweet. But, there is the exception of revenge on a sibling, of course. . . ;-)

    If you're going to strike back, do it immediately and via the authorities. Otherwise, get over it and move on.

    Hmmmm, look at what's happening in the middle east, seems like revenge, never ends. So, I have found that the christian/human way is to forgive, besides, that "revenge thing" will eat your soul. Make you lose focus of what is really important in your life, your wife, kids, job and eternal salvation (if you're religous). Everyone in my life that has wronged me, has pretty much reaped what they have sown. So live to cherish each other, heck, the guy you exact a revenge on today, may be your boss someday. Hehe.

    Mario--leaving AB for a while

    well i normally would just walk away and turn the other cheek and let Karma deal with the person, but it really depends. If it was someone that really hurt me and I just couldnt let it go and not get caught, I would seek revenge! Back in high school, so like over 10 years ago now, I was best friends with this girl and she started to act like she was too cool for me so I was soo pissed so in science class I starting doodling on the lab tables (they are black and honestly unless u look sooo close u cant see what is scribbled on them) and i wrote "sasha is a big nerd!"...I was NOT doing it for anyone to see, i was just sooo mad. The next day someone must have read it becasue she came to me and said how sad she was that someone wrote that about her, and she went home upset and her father said to her "well you probably are a nerd"...she was hurt but she had no idea I wrote it. All along it was driving her in sane trying to figure out who wrote that aboout her, but she had nooo clue it was me. At least she felt as hurt as I did. I think she deserved it casue i didint deserve for her to start to snub me up when we were suppsoed to be friends.
