Do you believe in getting even with someone who wronged you? Why or why not?
 
Not particularly.. I'm more of a believer in what goes around comes around, even though it has proved not to be the case on multiple occasions. I just don't really see the point in wasting energy to "get even".

Life isn't fair - the sooner you learn to live with it, the better.
 
I believe in revenge only if there is a larger motive. What I mean by that is when there is another (positive and beneficial) reason for it, other than purely for the benefit of your own satisfaction.

For example, if you seek revenge on somebody for stealing your PCs. By carrying out your plan to catch the guy and have him thrown in jail, you are not only fulfilling your own desire to see him punished for the crime he committed against your own PC, but you are ensuring he can’t do it to any other people. in a scenario like that, revenge is justified and I believe in it. I believe in revenge if it prevents more harm from occurring.
 
I only believe in sports Revenges, i've been damaged a lot in the recent years but i never had one myself and most of them are paying what they did now without me doing particullary anything.

That makes me feel comfy as hell lol
 
I don't believe in revenge over petty things but if someone killed someone close to me, then I'd want some serious revenge :)
 
Depends on the need of it, if someone down right robbed me I will get them back, no matter how many years it takes...
 
I don't believe in it. To me, it lowers me down to their level. Makes me no better than they are. I won't lose my humanity to 'get even'.
 
I believe in karma. Revenge is too much effort lol. But when that karma does come around, I have no problem sitting back like a leonardo dicaprio raising a glass to the superior one!

No, I believe you will pay for what you did eventually. I believe God will have the last laugh in the end. So, even if you can fool everyone else around you, God sees all and you will pay for it at some point. You can't out run him.
 
No! Trying to get revenge when you are wronged, doesn’t make you feel that much better in the end. Sometimes it can cause more problems and harm toward you.

It’s best to walk away and move on. Continue to keep your character and be the wonderful person that you are. It’s not worth getting even and destroy who you are!

The person that has wronged you usually pays for it in some other way. Sometimes, later on, the other person regrets what they have done. If they don’t, at least, you were the better person and let it go!

Getting revenge isn’t something you should devote your time to doing. There are better ways to release your pain and anger. It’s best to move on with your life and learn from the experience!
 
nope

no point trying to live in the past and mulling over stuff that happened years ago, just move on and be a better person. Forget about those that aren't worth it.
