Do you prefer Forgiveness or Revenge?

Thats really not a healthy way to be. I'm more of a forgiving person. i don't forgive right away though. the person needs to realize what they did and show some remorse before they are let off the hook. But seeking revenge is an unwise move my friend. It just escalates into something more. And sometimes the person might not even know that they wronged you and you are just creating negative energy that is only harmful to you. Are you a perfect person that you wouldnt want someone to be forgiving of you. Karma is real and sometimes it doesnt happen right away but it does make its way back around. So just stop and think before you react to being spiteful. You will also find that you will be a much happier person if you let go of grudges. Be Hapy my friend!

I personally prefer forgiveness. I have done revenge in the past and the only thing it did was make me an angry person and just not a fun person to be around. Revenge is one of those things in the heat of the moment it feels good to do.

In the long run trying to find revenge or doing revenge just makes you worse off.

My motto in life you can't control how people act towards you, but you can control how you react to them.

I always forgive. I wish I took revenge sometimes but I can't do it. Like my ex just did me wrong and messed up my job. I could destroy his job too because he is about to loose his drivers license and if his boss find out he would fire him. I want to call his boss sooooo bad but I won't do it. In a way I hate myself for not doing something back against him but I feel better knowing that I am being the better person and letting things go. God fixes all in the end! Wrong doings always catch up to people - Karma is a B#&$*

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is Revenge. But we probably only think that because we are angry at the moment. If you take a few minutes to get over yourself you won't be as angry, therefore making it easier to forgive. I think Forgiveness it better than Revenge.

I'm the total opposite, like I usually wanna get revenge on people, but yet I forgive people very easily, to the point where people feel they can take advantage of me, and then I have to drop them like loose change. I guess in the end it's a good thing to know who's really there for me...

Yea, of course the first thing is revenge, but if you give me a 1/2 hour and a nap, we can forget all about it - Forgive

What pops into my mind is how awesome my GOD is and how he vendicates me everytime.

Example and this is true: I had taken a part time job when I was single with my little guy in the evenings at a restaraunt. The managers said they didn't like me because no one can actually be as nice as me.

So the one of the three decieded to have his family come in and complain about me. So he had her call corporate and I was fired.

I cried for about three days because I really needed that job and I sat down and asked God why? Why do these jerks in life get away with crap like this? Then I decieded that I wasn't going to let them have anymore of them and I forgave them!

It took me another two weeks to find a job and then shortely after finding a new job. One of the guys I worked with at the restaruant came in and told me. The guy who set me up was fired for sexual harrasement. The second manager (who pretended to be friends with me) died because he refused to put his life vest on in FL and a "freak" storm came through tipped over the boat and he drowned to death. As soon as he died the strom stopped and the third manager was arrested for touching a girl at work with anger and was fired.

So from that day on I don't think about revenge I think "wow they are in so much trouble!_

My GOD ROCKS!

I under no circumstances prepare revenge. Revenge will basically make you like the guy who harm or betrayed you. at situations you moreover mght can no longer forgive till the time is nice, so that's terrific to easily walk away till that day comes once you are able to forgive, regrettably at situations that's under no circumstances by using guy continuously bobbing up harm, so at situations, that's extra advantageous to no longer prepare the two, till the door opens & you are able to. prepare forgiveness the place you are able to & abstenance of the two once you won't be able to forgive.

How about both. Forgiveness AFTER revenge. Works for me.

Forgiveness is always the way to go. When you forgive you free yourself, allowing yourself the opportunity to grow and enjoy life without having to worry about looking over your shoulder. The old saying, "What goes around, comes around" is so true. Also, when you don't forgive you allow that person to have control over you, cause your thoughts to be consumed by there very being.
