In your opinion Is it a wise idea to get even with someone who has done you wrong?

you're suggesting revenge...correct? If so, no. Be bigger than that and walk on.
-
There is nothing wise about expanding your energies on negative thoughts and actions and allowing those to take up space in your mind, where happier things could dwell :)
-
Nope!!!!

I always say what goes around comes around. I am sure you don't have to do a thing. If they really done you wrong then they will have something bad happen to them all on their own. No need for you to even get your hands dirty.
-
No forgive them. They probably wronged you and are not even thinking about it, but you are! It's not hurting them, it's hurting you. You don't have to be their friend any more, but don't try to get even. Don't stoop to their level. Go on with your life and forget about it.

AH! Now you've changed the wording of your question, it's easier to answer! I don't think you can get even, really. You're only going to end up feeling jaded and maybe even soiled by the experience. If you've managed to talk to anyone about it, let that be your outlet and let it go. If you haven't do so as soon as possible. You mustn't carry around negative energy. Turn it around into something positive. Forgive yourself for allowing this person to have hurt you. Tell yourself it's OK to move on without have to get back at them - in the end you are the strong one. And whatever you do, don't let the sun catch you crying. :)x

No sense in holding a grudge. I just sue.

I have thought of "getting even" with people who have done me wrong. To my surprise, I found out that I really didn't have to do anything to get even with them. The saying Karma is a biatch is right after all.
-
Trust me when i say, that getting even with somone isn't all its cracked up to be, sure it may feel like the right thing to do at first, but in the aftermath of it all you end up feeling more down and angry with yourself than before. :) i could never see you as being a person that would exact revenge on another :) too sweet for that:)
-
A waste of time and energy. Negativity attracts negativity, I say.
-
No, it's just another name for revenge and that is not a good idea. They will eventually get theirs. Don't let them control you and make you do something that is wrong, to sink to their level. Just let it go and forget them.
-
Getting even may seem to feel good but your setting yourself up for feeling badly for lowering yourself to their level. It is said the best revenge is showing they did not damage you as much as they were trying to. That in a way their actions made you a better person. No this won't give them false hope in thinking they did you a favor because these sort of people are only out to screw others over.
-
I dont think its right, but I think most of us just have a burning desire to do exactly that for a while at least. Often that need tends to die off with time............... :)
-
It is so tempting but utlimately I think any revenge you get would feel empty. The best revenge is living well.
-
Only when Justice or as some said Karma Fails which is generally doesn't, just sit back and watch the show because sooner or later .... ~Nemo~
-
Wise, no. Karma *will* always work out the kinks. But petty...well, that's a whole 'nother ball park, and I'm not above adding somebody to Weight Watchers or NRA mailing list when truly annoyed.
