In the past I've been discriminated against for various reasons just like most people. I didn't look the right way, I didn't act the right way or my accent was wrong. One particular incident happened while traveling in a small town in the deep south that will remain embedded in my memory bank forever.
Revenge though, never. To take revenge gives credence to the discriminator. I value myself too much and would never lower myself to the standard of an ignoramus. Remember, if you react to something it is validation to the person inflicting the harm that they are powerful. Discriminators are small and meaningless.

I never nor will I ever take revenge. The only discrimination I dealt with was online.

Revenge only hurts yourself in the long run. As hard as forgiveness is it is much better and can help you to grow into a better person.

Yup. But revenge means going down to their level. I'd rather be focused on who I am and my greater calling in life despite my circumstances.
