Have you ever wanted to seek revenge on someone who hurt you or a loved one?

Question

I must admit in my darkest hour I have thought about it but I know it's wrong so never carried it out.  I especially feel angry if someone hurts my children or granddaughter and have worked out little scenarios in my head on how to get revenge. It's better not to listen to those inner thoughts and to hope that karma will take care of it.

I feel this is human nature to want to hurt a person back when they've hurt you. However, revenge isn't always the answer and in the end, this can cause you a lot of pain and heartache. This can also hurt the family member even more if you try to seek revenge. I was recommended to watch a movie to watch not long ago. It had to do with a 13-year-old girl who was stocked by an older man. She actually meets this man and he took advantage of her and had sex with her. This almost destroyed her father and hurt him so badly. All he could think of was finding this person and seeking revenge. In the end, he almost lost his daughter because of this. So you see this isn't always the way to go.

When I broke up with my first boyfriend, all I could think about was how to revenge. I tried to revenge and realised that I was hurting myself more so I opted to let go and move on.

It is not in my nature in getting even with anybody that has hurt me, be it a friend or a lover. I have the knowledge that revenge of the Lord, and so I have never considered paying back hurt with same coin. I like them having their pay back from my God.

I would not recommend seeking revenge on someone who hurts you or a loved one. It's better not to listen to those inner thoughts and to hope that karma will take care of it. You might end up with a difficult and dangerous relationship with your victim, and you may end up with nothing in return for your pain.
