When someone hurts us, we might feel sad, angry, defensive, but sometimes those feelings turn

into something more dangerous, a desire for revenge.

I believe that revenge is something that has to be done in a timely manner.

I like to wait till the right moment has come, and usually that's a long time when the other

person has possibly believed or is under the impression that nothing's the matter anymore.

And I do believe in getting revenge.

I mean, it may be just a push from karma, but I will definitely take all the steps needed to make sure that I make all the wrongs right.

I am interested in seeking revenge against my former boss.

She caused me so much pain.

I don't know how to get through this.

I pray about it because I know revenge is really wrong.

Wanting to write a perceived wrong, very normal. But neuroscientists are now finding that revenge

seeking behavior can be addictive. So why does revenge feel good, at least in the moment when you're getting it?

And when can it backfire?
