What if you set out to get revenge on someone for a great harm that befell you or your family? Then, what if it turned out that that person was not to blame?

I've learned that revenge only hurts the one doing it. So I wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteTime for round two, then.
ReplyDeleteApologize and then find the right person.
ReplyDeleteBeing a non-confrontational ostrich-head-in-the-sand kind of person, I don't do revenge. Always a good thing, I think, and esp in a case like this.
ReplyDeleteI don't advocate revenge, myself.
DeleteLike Alex says above, revenge always bounces back and hits you.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteI would not plot violent revenge. Actually, I'm reading a novel right now that has revenge as one of its themes and I have a feeling it won't end well. I think I would just keep silent and try to make it right without admitting what I had done.
ReplyDeleteThat's where I got this question, from a book I was reading. In the end, he didn't take his revenge against the wrong person, but he wanted to.
DeleteI wonder if I could live with the guilt. That scenario would suck.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good setup for a book, though.
DeleteI would hope I found out they were not at fault before I did the revenge on them. Otherwise, I would feel terribly guilty and end up apologizing ad nauseum.
ReplyDeletebetty
I would hope that I found out they were not to blame before I hurt anyone. But then again, going after others like that is not my style. I feel KRAMA will bite them in the ass and I don't really have to see it or be there for it....I just know it will happen.
ReplyDeleteWell, revenge isn't a great response, really, but. . .
DeleteI let Karma handle revenge. But not saying I never had a hand in it, but I know to keep tiny minimum.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe and Coffee is on
I only scheme for good!
ReplyDeleteOr so you say ;)
DeleteI'd apologize profusely and would feel horrible for whatever I had done. And probably figure my lesson was learned and NOT go after the right person. Things could get even worse.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is true.
DeleteI would do my best to rectify the wrong and hope it was not too late and then move forward and not take any further revenge. In the end, I find that these people who do such wrong get their just desserts.
