Is revenge an evil?

Revenge is not necessarily "evil" but it is not desirable. It serves no more purpose than to make you feel better for a short period of time before you realise that the fact that you took revenge makes you just as bad as they were in the first place. Two wrongs don't make a right.

No I believe revenge is the meting of justice if in proportion to the affliction.

I don't know what I'd do with a cheating partner, I would probably do nothing at all (apart from break up, obviously).


Have you experienced this? If yes, I consider you an extremely tolerant person. If no, I think you'd have to go through it to consider what your actions would be.
I know mine would be deadly.

Experienced being cheated on? No.

My (expected) reaction is nothing to do with being tolerant, it's just that I wouldn't want to be near the other person, or be involved with them in any way.

But the question is moot, I won't be going through it :smile:

I have never experienced it either, and I wouldn't want to be near them either. If they are in the same social circle, the only way to completely ignore them, is to place a bullet in their forehead.
I'd love to believe in karma, but I don't. Most people don't get what they deserve. You have to make sure of it. Some people have caused you harm - you either end their lives and their possibilities of doing it again or you don't.
Depends how far you take it.
