victim's revenge.

I know people say ‘forgive and forget’ but I don’t believe that. when people throw something at me, I pick whatever it is, no matter how gross, and when they least expect it I’ll shove it all over their face. like, orange peel for example. Who’s with me?

WELL, I agree with ifeelcrazy123, but. ill come to the civilized reasoning of you throwing it back in their face. You’re returning their lost items. lol what more can I say?

but the whole Forgive and forget thing, it doesnt apply to me, I forgive but never forget. meaning ill accept their apology and be cool with them, but I can never for get the fact they did it. so if at one point theres a situation where what they did to you, is happening to them and they come to you for help, dont help them.

EVEN though what im saying is close to “getting even” im just saying, I forgive but not forget.

Answer #2

Some how this seems more like a metaphor for revenge than just sticking to cases where people are bullying you…

As far as I’m concerned, holding on to something is a waste of time and energy. The other person has moved on, and you’re just holding on to bad feelings that only hurt yourself… What’s the point of that? Forgiveness is never about the other person… It’s about yourself. As for the forgetting part, when it comes to people we love, it makes sense… As to everyone else, I’m not so sure the forgetting part is the way to go.

Answer #3

I don’t agree with you.

Don’t see the point of getting revenge. It’s just immature and shows you are on the same low level as them, plus you waste a lot of energy and time on doing something that is stupid and counterproductive.

Answer #4

Part of discernment is learning when to forgive and forget, and when to ‘get even’. If someone is throwing stuff at you, you have to respond. If you don’t, they’ll probably keep picking on you.

I would probably let it slide once, but no more than that.

Answer #5

I’m not.

Fighting anger with anger doesn’t solve anything.

If people throw something at you, then THEY have a problem. But if you can’t control yourself, and can only try to get back at them, then YOU have a problem.

Answer #6

You can’t control the actions of others, but you can control yourself - restraint will always get you further.

Answer #7

okay.
