Revenge

Post Reply New Topic

i recently killed my furby.

What did your furby do to deserve such harsh treatment?

Hey, I'm done with this thread.

The last thing any Aspie should do is get into the revenge business unless the parameters for the wrong that was done is VERY clear.

You, me and everybody else on this board that are DX'ed do not have the intracity and the non-verbal and observational skills to determine what makes for good old fashioned revenge. We'd end up doing something overblown and alienate somebody that didn't mean any harm, go too far with the revenge plot and get labeled the "p" word (psycho) or just do something lame.

And if you do get into the revenge business, do your homework and have an NT help you.

I know this is a controversial thread but I believe revenge is morally justifiable under the following circumstances:

It is only directed against the person that wronged you and not against that person's employer, friend, family member, etc.

It is legal and does not involve taking the law into your own hands such as damaging someone's property

You were clearly in the right and the other person is clearly in the wrong.

It is proportional to the amount of wrong you suffered.

In most cases I would say that physical revenge isn't good because you could end up in trouble, in some cases worse than the person who wronged you. It is VERY nice to sit quietly by yourself and imagine the wrongdoer dying in a horrible horrible way! MWA HA HA...

P.S I am not insane...

I don't think so. I believe there is a huge difference between assertiveness and revenge. Being assertive and sticking up for yourself is appropiate, you can't just let people walk over you. However revenge is reckless, the main motivation of revenge is hate and anger, negative emotions. What if the person you are taking revenge on made a mistake and wasn't intentionally trying to hurt you? Negative relations will just escalate from a misunderstanding.

In my experience taking revenge always made me feel horrrible, besides I usually don't have the patience or the determination to take revenge at all. Whenever somebody wrongs me, I give silent treatments pretend they don't exist. I suppose that's a form of revenge, but mostly it's because I'm too afraid to interact with them. I do this a lot, my family hates it. One little mishap and I'm too afraid to speak to them.

Well... I have been taught that God will avenge me when someone has hurt me, so I guess I don't believe in taking revenge.

Revenge can be active or passive. I'm currently sitting on information that would help someone a bit financially. However, that person encouraged her children to harass my mother when she was sick with heart disease. Complaints to the parents and police brought no results. Eventually, my mother passed away (not from the harassment) and I moved from the neighborhood. One day, out of curiosity I looked up property owners in the neighborhood. Said antagonist currently has a property valuation twice what it should be, therefore higher taxes. She is not the type to check it out for herself and challenge the assessment. Passive revenge.

My mother encouraged me to remove myself from people who treat me or mine badly. I do. Normally, I try to forgive the other person. In this case, I'm staying neutral. I won't cause harm and I won't help. On the other hand, if a life was in danger I'd step in. I mean, come ON.

Revenge is ultimately pointless.

My Math teacher in 11th grade (Who hated me solely because I put my head down one day in class like I was sleeping) told my parents that I was the most unhappy, disruptive kid, who he had ever meet in his 25 years of teaching.

Of course that statement was very inaccurate but it didn't stop the 20 minute talk when my parents came home .

The point is that revenge really solves nothing; its better to just forget but never forgive.

I'd only take revenge against someone who seriously hurt a woman or a child (that I knew), and only if he was not taken to justice through the law. Aside from that sole scenario, I'm a complete pacifist.

Sorry, I'm already in the revenge business.
I plan on getting even with a person who is psyching me put at school.

I feel it is justified, though I, personally, am too practical to actually "swear revenge" on anyone. I'm taking five classes this semester. I don't have time to strike down evil.

If you are being bullied, then you should fight back, so that others know you won't allow them to walk all over you. Otherwise other bullies may see that you won't fight back and give you a hard time.

I'd like to line up all of the people who bullied and shunned me in elementary school and high school, and yell in their faces, military style, that they should be nice to everybody, and even people with disabilities, because their children might end up, on the spectrum, and that not all kids on the spectrum are Mentally Challenged kids, who don't go to the bathroom, not that there's anything wrong with being Mentally Challenged, because they're worse things that a person can be, like ignorant losers.

Sometimes, revenge isn't just the right thing to do, it's the only thing to do. Nothing says, "Take your bullsh*t elsewhere, peon." quite like revenge. For preference, I enjoy a slow, methodical flaying of their psyche, in front of as many people as can be managed.
