When I was a little kid, I got bullied. From that perspective, I understand the desire for revenge.

As I grew, the bullying stopped. It was as much the change in my response to bullying as it was a change in the world.

From that perspective…this guy was nuts.

Get over it. Move on. Do better.

I forgave those who terrorized me decades ago.
It DID help to know they are all probably dead or dead broke.
I on the other hand prospered, strong and retired well off.

I agree. I got bullied a lot, too. I came to realize if I met many of those people today, they would be ashamed.

In that light, I tend to forgive them and not hold a grudge. Never did, once I became an adult.

“ When I was a little kid, I got bullied. From that perspective, I understand the desire for revenge.”

I think it’s more justice.

I’ll never understand people who can’t let go of their high school years. It’s a short time in life, only three or four years, but they keep reliving it.

I was picked on mercilessly as a kid. But those experiences taught me how to handle those situations.
