Though just a quick piece of advice, when you decide to seek "revenge" you should be incredibly careful, when you mess with peoples lives you are taking a huge risk, it's a risk I would never take, well, for one it's not in my nature to be mean to others, even those who truly deserve it, but haven't you ever thought that eventually you might say or do the wrong thing to the wrong person and end up having something horrible happen to yourself and anyone else involved? You don't ever worry about any of the people you have victimized ever deciding to come after you?
Its another reason why I don't treat others poorly for no reason, well, aside from the fact that it is my tendency to treat everybody encounter with kindness and compassion, but also because I know that it's a messed up world, and that the people in it are capable of truly horrible things. When you live a moral life and treat those around you with kindness and respect you figure you would be safe in this regard, however, even Christ was not safe from the Romans, you could have never done a single thing that ever hurt a single person and still get nailed to a cross. I guess it's the nature of those like yourself, you see others who you perceive as harmless or weak and you first reaction is to "nail them to a cross". I pray that your judgement keeps you from making a misperception in this regard, historically those with such a mindstate and desire for unnecessary victimization of others (even if they call it revenge and fabricate some nonsense as to why they were just in seeking it ) have eventually had to reap the karma which they had sown. In this life or the next, you are taking foolish and pointless risks.
I take it you are not a spiritual person? Likely an atheist, no?
Regardless, morals are not a bad tool for this existence, and rather than seeking revenge why not show love to those who you have singled out? Why not do something to help people and make the world into a better place? Why create more misery and suffering? Is it because seeing bad things happen to people who you do not like brings you joy? Perhaps putting down such people gives you needed self esteem? Perhaps you think that it is ok to ruin people's lives for your own sick amusement, who knows.
Its been a fun creative writing project this far, I just think its bad mental hygiene to linger too long around negativity.
I am reminded of John Perry Barlow speaking about the hells angels at grateful dead shows, the hells Angel said "I don't think good means much without evil", and John replied "this is true, but you do not always need to have a seat for evil at the table"
I know that the negative is an essential part of this coincidence of opposites that we call existence, but I also know that it doesn't do much good to intentionally invite the negative into your life. I also understand that you can not simply ignore the negative, that is impossible, but you can limit your exposure to it.
Which is why I said it is bad mental hygiene to linger around the negative, or negative people, it's bad mental hygiene to give much thought to the negative, unless it's absolutely necessary, so this project is over, the negativity surrounding this thread is enough of a contamination.
Be careful, and be safe. If you are a spiritual person it might help to look into what spirituality says about revenge, most spiritual traditions will offer some really good advice.
