Since most of the people who bullied me during school are either dead, in prison, or living on the street (and I'm not), I see no point in revenge.
Lucky you. Most of my worst bullies are successfully married to 'trophy wives' and have high paying jobs where their sociopathic nature and BS skills come in handy (car salesman, real estate agent, retail manager) while I'm struggling to get by myself. I consider myself a kind, good natured person but if any of them were to wind up dead or in prison I will admit that I would be a very happy man and hope they suffer an agonizing fate so they understand what they put me through. Unfortunately, life isn't exactly fair or just.
Do I still bear some bitterness and overwhelming desire to see revenge enacted? You bet I do! Still, I would NEVER even dream of bullying someone weaker than me to make myself 'feel stronger' and don't understand that logic at all.
