The best "revenge" is just to live a good life....

dumb. 1 star

A few years back I was going through some tough times and big changes. I had family and friends say or do things that were simply uncalled for and bordered on being verbally abusive. I was unaware at the time just how many people in my life wanted to see me fail or fall apart emotionally. It took **years** of quiet retrospect to finally see that none of those people , including certain family members cared about me or my well being one bit. In reality they existed in my life at the time to tear me down and to keep me down.

Fast forward to now. I'm in a much better place spiritually, mentally and physically. Instead of ever seeking revenge on those who hurt me, I sought to lick my wounds, pick myself up and carry on, no matter how much I felt like crawling underneath a rock and dying. I know now that those people in my life back then were simply mean, spiteful, unhappy souls who got off on what I can only describe as being adult bullies.

Instead of ever wishing bad for them, I prayed for them. I prayed for my own strength to move on and forget the emotional pain they caused. And it worked.

Today I'm happy. I no longer dwell in the past. I live a really wonderful life and I am blessed to be happily married to my best friend.

As for these people and family members of my past, that's where they will always be, in the past. The best way to ever get revenge on anyone who hurts you is to simply live a good life. Never let them get you so upset that you sink to their level of mind games, control or abuse.

Some have tried to contact me over the years. I simply ignore their attempts, knowing they will never change.

Never seek revenge. Always live your best life possible... It will drive your haters and enemies nuts. They cannot stand to know that they did not succeed in destroying your spirit.

Be well GLP. Stay strong.
