Revenge

Affable

How much does revenge and competition with those you have conflicts with drive you?

Do you think this mentality helps you to do well or impedes you?

I'm currently not seeking revenge against anyone so, not at all!

There appears to be an opening for the position of
"NKay's Mortal Enemy". Anyone fancy it?

It doesn't.

It's a possible motivating factor for some people, I guess. They may well do well out of it in a materialistic sense, I'm not sure it's worth the ulcers.

I often think about elaborate plots for revenge, but have never yet put one into practise. Mostly because these ideas always involve some serious illegality...

My mentality is to just get on with things really, so there's certainly nothing impeding about it.

Not very much, I don't think I've taken revenge in a long time.

Hate/revenge requries energy
I have not come across anyone who would require anymore of my time than a quick flick of the middle finger - ie not worth the energy or the air space that they are taking

I disagree as it depends largely on the person. Me, i have sought revenge a couple of times for acts committed against my friends or family. I didn't get worked up about it, just did what i felt needed doing to even the balance and then moved on.

If you let anything fester, be it doubt, anxiety, fear, revenge then sure, it's gonna take it's toll. If you can just react as you need to and be chilled about things then it won't.

It's a great thought, but revenge, especially cold, just usually leads to more grief. Like somebody else said: just get on with life.

now that's just not nice.

choosing to remove yourself from a situation where things could potentially turn nasty is not about being a coward.

Depends on the situation surely

I'm currently hatching a plot to get back at the Doctor who held me upside down by my feet and deliberately smacked my butt to make me cry when I was born. It involves a chair, duct tape and a scalpel. Now I'm not one to hold a grudge, but he was bigger and older than me so I reckon he deserves it.

I know a guy must be very motivated by revenge. His "friend" got with his girlfriend so as revenge, he scooped all the butter out of the tub, took a shit in it, melted the butter, poured in in and allowed it to cool, :pac:

Some people would construe that as personal abuse.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a coward. I simply do not see revenge as an appropriate motivating factor in how I live my life. See Ghandi, an eye for an eye, whole world blind, etc.

thought about revenge plenty of times never followed it through. thought. it just depends in the situation if someone really deserved it them i prob would go through with it.

Gummy Panda

I don't think i ever needed to get revenge on someone. Karma usually sorts things out for.

Harbouring ill feeling towards anyone which would include revenge is just a burden on the holder, and serves no purpose.

Without competition there'd be no progress in the world. From competition comes a lot of bitchiness and nastiness, unfortunately. Just a part of life really...

Not so sure. You don't need bitchiness and nastiness to actually make people more productive useful citizens, it can just be a huge waste of energy.

Although there are some philosophies that hold that the more spectacular, nasty, and cold blooded the revenge, the more respect you show for the target. Although as decades of Bond films have shown us, that doesn't always work out for the best.

tbh

the best revenge is a happy life.

You can have competition wiouth bitchiness and nastiness. Competition is where you actively try to better someone else by improving yourself which is a positive thing, where as if you're bitching and being nasty you're just wasting energy being a nasty bitch.

I think the best revenge is kidnapping someone in a black van with armed Balaclava guys and leaving them in the middle of nowhere with nothing on them.

I wouldnt usually set out to do somehting big out of revenge.I just do little things particiularly if its a friend thats in the wrong.i find dangling it over their head and watching them squirm is more satisfying then just going mental.aswell without me going mad over it she definietly stays in the wrong.

I completely agree. But my point is that a lot of bitchiness and nastiness often comes out of competition.
