Vengeance is definitely a dish best served cold. I had a man that accused me of stealing a pup from him about 30 years ago. Of course I confronted him about it at the time but…I work for the county highway department now and there is a hole I front of his house that never gets fixed. Lol
Looks like he needs another year;-)

I was never big on vengance I always live by the Golden rule."Do unto others before they have a chance to do it to you".
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. ^^^^^^^^^^ This right here. I spent the first 40 or so years of my life a master at vengence. Either immediate OR eventual. NOT the guy you wanted to end up on the wrong side of........... Occurred to me one day that, even though it didn't really affect the rest of my day-to-day life, there was an facet to it that I knew.......but was ignoring. Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Pretty straightforward. So, I started putting wrongs done me by others in God's hands. The vengence IS His...............and once I give it to Him........there's a relief and a weight lifted that I had not previously realized was there. Exactly. It's not about the other person as much as it is about not carrying around that boulder of resentment or anger in your chest. It will literally kill you slowly. I'm convinced that a large percentage of health issues come from carrying stress because of anger at other people.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I wanted to kill the guy that rant the light and killed my son for years.
It wouldn't bring my son back and it was not like he killed my son intentionally. The intentionally part is what saved him. So he is still alive as far as I know.
Had it been internal only God or my death would have saved him.
Killing those hurting others intentionally should be a paid and applauded position. For example those using and operating the human trafficking operations. Not necessarily for vengeance, justice, or other words used to vindicate giving the wrong doers what the deserve. But to put a permanent end to their business and end the human suffering they are causing.
It not right to lock them up and make others pay for their food and care. If thay get locked up they better be made to work and produce something to pay for their incarnation. If they don't work they don't eat.

Most vengence is lowering yourself down to or below the level of the person who did you wrong so of course, it's overrated. There's much more satisfaction to be found in taking the high road and letting God do the avenging. Is this a quote from Big Mike Obama?

Not many christians on this site. You seem to have a misconception about Christians. I'm a Christian that does not mean I'm perfect and not a sinner. In fact just the opposite is me admiting I and a sorry pitiful excuse of a man and broken sinner. That I am only saved by God's Grace. So I still have to fight against my sinful nature it did not go away. The difference is now that part of me discuss and is repulsive to me and I'm ashamed of it. Yet I don't hide it and try to act like I'm a perfect I admit my flaws . I so wanted to kill the guy that killed my son. What saved him at first was I was injured and could not carry it out. Then I had time to think enough to decide to give it 10 years so I would not be the first thought and suspect. During that time I came to realize it was not his intent to kill my son and I could easily have been in his spot whe I have accidentally ran a light or two not paying attention. All 3 parts were God's grace to me . Now I no longer want harm to come to him. He may even be safe if he were in the same room with me.

Nailing somebody to a tree could qualify as vengeance but getting sent to prison after you did it would be called justice.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
