revenge

revenge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die

do you like to take revenge?
does it turn out well?
are you afraid of other ppl taking revenge on you?

I've fantasised about doing it many a time. But I've always managed to get a grip on myself. I've been raged at by higher level Ns a couple of times. The first time outside of London City Airport. A black woman with a foreign accent asked me to take her to Chelsea. I told her I was waiting for a client. I'm guessing I came across as a bit abrupt. I can sometimes. People irritate me at times. Especially when they can't make their own arrangements. I'm a perfectionist, you see? "Liar!" Was her response. Maybe she thought I was being racist? I'm not! I'm just extremely xenophobic. That's the N in me who is an island unto himself. Projection, you see? I got out of the car and told her to piss-off back to where she came from. Anyway, she and her male co-dependent went running to two police officers screaming "racist!" One officer took me aside and the other took them aside. Mine was believing what I was telling him. Meanwhile, I could hear them telling theirs a pack of lies! The Anti Social in them, you see? Meanwhile my client appeared; so I needed to get away. My response was to insist that we shake hands and I say "sorry"! Trust me, I've got my fingers crossed behind my back. Disarming pillocks! It works every time. Kevin strikes again! JC called it "turning the other cheek".

The other time I was waiting for the teenage son of another client. Some drunken pillock, who is known to some of my other clients, does the "who are you waiting for?" thing. I've been a taxi driver for 20 years. So I know what to say under these circumstances. I forgot myself. I was in a middle class Surrey village, after all. Pillock says: "Oh, that's me." I immediately go into superior mode. Pillock insists I should accept it as part of the job. No pillock, I don't! Teenager arrives and sees what's happening. Pillock knows him. Argument continues and I punch through pillock's armour! Pillock goes into a screaming rage. Pillock knows words that would make Bernard Manning blush. I know I'm over weight, by the way! Pillock's girlfriend of the year trys to restrain him. I get out of the car and Pillock's realises how big I am. I tell Pillock to wander off. And he does; walking straight into a pillar! Kevin strikes again!

I grew out of my image related rages about 8 years ago. I still do the passive aggressive thing. More A than P. If people find chinks in my armour these days, it's less painful than it used to be. Usually, I just growl. I think some of us are like fine wines. We improve with age. Some, I sure, get corked though.

ExN Russell Brand devalues then rages at journalist outside 10 Downing Street. Ns shouldn't write books. We just project our rage onto the page.

Pre- or post-awareness? I would have never thought I was vengeful. But, now that I understand my traits I can see splitting someone (or giving them the silent treatment) satisfied me in a way I imagine calculated vengeance does to those who are consciously vengeful.

Being aware, seeing it that way causes me to identify my traits as they begin because the traits seem as unwanted as revenge.

I've always liked that quote.

If you take revenge on a person, I think the best way to do it is to make it look like an accident. That way no one will know that it was you, and you don't have to worry about someone coming after you to retaliate. That means you will also have to show some restraint and let time pass before you make your first move.

When I was younger and more impulsive I'd frequently take revenge, but I don't feel the need anymore. No one really upsets me, and even if they did, I know those types of people usually hang themselves, so I don't need to put in the effort.

It's better to laugh! Otherwise, we'd just cry! Or at least I hope we would?

I usually don't take revenge but sometimes when the other person has crossed all limit I finsih that person. I destroy his reputation. I kill him from inside and what's left after that is dead person living a life just because he has to live.

The miserable life is not really worth living but what can you do.

While doing this I generally make sure I don't do anything wrong myself, after all I am supirior than him. And what's more there were times when I just din't bother to take revenge, I only distanced myself from the person, after may be a year or two, I found out that that person's life was destroyed because of his continued bad actions, karma had caught up with the person.

So, usually speaking there is little to no need to take revenge because all the Ns eventually suffer from living a fake, lonely and painful lives, however rich, good looking they are.

i would never go look for revenge but if i ever sow an opening to get back and get some sort of profit from it i would go for it
but that 's the same for everyone i know friends and foes
it usualy is to much efford to get revenge
i'm ether doing something productive of relaxing (something fun) and both those things are more importend to me than revenge
i'm to lazy for revenge
and i'm ok with failling at something doesn't matter if it's my fault or someone elses

Yours is more catchy, but it reminds me of a Buddhist saying:

"[Holding onto anger] is like a man who wants to hit another and picks up a burning ember or excrement [with the intent of throwing it] and so first burns himself or makes himself stink."

Or, more generally:

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."

(I'm not Buddhist.).

Mild sociopath Katie baits histrionic borderline Perez. Perez throws up a shield of passive aggressive rage in defence. They fought like a cat fights its own reflection in a mirror. Katie the detonator; Perez the explosive. Ruining the show for their other housemates.

AType Normal Pricey gets the better of Katie who throws up a shield of PA rage in defence.

You lot should watch Big Brother before Big Brother starts watching us! George Orwell's 1984 is a description of a world run by depressed Ns. Written by him whilst ill, in the last year of his life, in solitude on the side of a Scottish loch. An N's rage being projected onto the page?
