Which one satisfies you more ,revenge or forgiveness?

I am a firm believer of Karma.

As the saying goes "What goes around, comes around." and if we are associating "revenge" with "justice" then perhaps we are better off leaving well enough alone, having faith that things will eventually fall into place.

With revenge I take no action, I truly try to forgive, and hope for justice, so forgiving brings me greater satisfaction.

These two are not opposites. Neither revenge nor forgiveness deals properly with the concept or virtue of justice.

After a proper redress for grievance, forgiveness can be a rational act that leads to a just and mutually beneficial relationship. Forgiveness, therefore, should sometimes be given even when one initially feels very strongly that it may never be possible.

Revenge, on the other hand, implies either an unjust revenge, or that redress and therefore justice is not possible by any means. Any rational revenge would simply be called "justice".

The juxtaposition of revenge and forgiveness tacitly infers support for a morality based on the principle of altruism, which is inherently unjust. A contrary juxtaposition might be "justice" vs "self-victimization".

Neither forgiveness nor revenge satisfy rational virtue. But forgiveness is more commonly a part of a virtuous life. It is important, however, to remember that justice sometimes requires swift and decisive action that harms another.

Ultimately, the satisfaction I gain from either comes not from bestial hostility nor saintly altruism, but from the rational application of the virtue and principle of justice.

Well, Short term satisfaction would have to be revenge, but after a while revenge gets old and you get tired of hurting people and them hurting you and playing the whole revenge tag game, I get so sick of it, so I forgive. But forgiveness is an act of compassion we don't do it because people deserve it, we do it because people need it, so after the revenge and I am able to see more clearly and see the pain I cause other people even though they caused me the same pain I always end up forgiving, mind you if those friggers don't feel remorseful and regretful of their actions then I'll keep getting them until they do.

Neither. I cannot take revenge on myself nor can I forgive myself for putting me in a situation requiring revenge or forgiveness.

definite, forgiveness is plenty greater pleasurable, I see no component in revenge. If somebody intentionally "hurts" you, that exhibits you that for the duration of easily certainty they're unworthy of even a 2d of your "emotional" time. the will for revenge is a infantile concept for my area. i'm not asserting don't sense offended, injury or betrayed, this is a organic reaction, yet searching for a thank you to get revenge basically perpetuates the full component. enable it bypass, write it off, recover from it and pass on. the guy who did it to you will desire to grow to be character non grata, why seek for revenge on somebody who now skill not something to you? it is fairly diverse to the theory of forgiveness i comprehend, because of the fact to me forgiveness skill persevering with in the placement regardless of what has befell, this would under no circumstances take place if one seeks revenge. the two are at the same time unique..

revenge when i forgive someone it takes me forever to get over it and i feel like im being used revenge makes me powerful so :]

Revenge. What can I say, it just feels right to take down someone who has done you wrong and gotten pleasure from doing so. Also revenge brings closure.

revenge... i tried forgiveness and in the end it only lead to a long and depressing year

Revenge is just like compensation.

Forgiveness? The actions others take do not bother or matter to me whether they are messed up or congenial. This world will always turn.

revenge because forgiveness leads to more pain and suffering.
