Is revenge OK?

JAGG · 08-30-2011, 07:47 AM

I believe in universal law. What goes around comes around. Therefore revenge will only cause something negative to occur in your life. I believe universal law can not be thwarted. Therefore no need to wish something bad on someone else. The universe with all its resourses, will exact its punishment. Every action strikes a cord in eternity. Yours and theirs. My motto is kill them with kindness. Forgive those who have offended you, and when you offend, then you will be forgiven. Just my 2 cents worth.

Is casting a spell..... say a skin burning rash spell in the armpit (and other areas) of a certain immigration officer an act of revenge?

A wise person once told me: Living well is the best revenge.

Success is the best revenge!

My mother always said.... "the best revenge, is a life well spent"

Never has the world needed love and forgiveness so much as now. But I also must uphold the ideals of my beloved country and family. If an aggressor ever came here to destroy my family or this country and America needed my help to defend her and retaliate, I would give it- for the love of the people, and to defend the nation on whose land I live. We should do our part to help protect America if you live here, and all those we love in our homes, but at the same time, we must not allow ourselves to be filled with revenge and hatred. A defense plan is good right now, but it will not bring ultimate peace.

If anyone came to "destroy" or "take over" America it would be karma.

lots of good thoughts here regarding this potentially explosive issue..and while i am a firm believer in karma, when it comes to revenge, i prefer to center my focus on evaluating and controlling my responses..and viewing it as an opportunity to examine what i need to do to overcome the need to have it, justify it etc..making peace with it and not letting it do further damage is what i've learned i need to do.

That is not revenge, that is self defense. Big difference between revenge and defending yourself.
