There is an old saying, that revenge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

Personally I forgive (even if I don't verbalize it), but that doesn't mean they get to be part of my life again. Stewing over the past is the same as worrying about the future - big waste of the present.
I do understand this and often agree with the sentiment of "living well is the best revenge"

However I think context may matter... There can be varying degrees of being wronged.

Wel as a hypothetical exercise if somebody was going to do it fish oil in a syringe down car door seals and air conditioning vents works. Cost them thousands to get it cleaned. And of course that hypothetical someone would need to be careful cameras everywhere these days

I've really tried to let something go but I can't and am haunted by it to a degree. I think plotting out vengeance may be the only way past it.

I did try to resist it for a very long time..
