50 Examples Of Petty Revenge That Will Make You Think Twice Before Being Bad To Other People

by Damjan

Not all stupid or inconsiderate actions deserve some severe punishment, as much as we are annoyed with them. Honestly, most of them could be and should be forgotten.

But people are not made like that. We enjoy small acts of revenge and getting even in our minds. And the internet and the social networks gave us the ability to share those acts of revenge.

And that tips the scale. Not only did we get even with our wrongdoers, but we are up by one. Great!

But be careful, if you are planning revenge, ask yourself if that will make you happier. Karyn Hall, Ph.D., the director and owner of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Center, says that it is one of those urges that we feel quite often but rarely discuss.

"The struggle with revenge is centuries old," she said for Psychology Today. "Shakespeare said, 'If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?' Shakespeare clearly thought revenge was as normal and predictable as the sun rising."

"But what about the idea that revenge is self-destructive? Confucius said, 'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.' Gandhi seemed to agree with him when he said, 'An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.'"

So how should we deal with the overwhelming impulse of seeking vengeance? Try to fight it, and eventually, it will become weaker, and gone.

Hall pointed out that the reason revenge boosts anger rather than reducing it is because of reflections. "When people don't get revenge, they tend to trivialize the event by telling themselves that because they didn't act on their vengeful feelings, it wasn't a big deal. Then it's easier to forget it and move on. But when people do get revenge, they can no longer trivialize the situation. Instead, they go over and over it and feel worse."
