Ultimate Revenge

Imagine that you have been done a great injustice. The particular facts of this injustice are not important, however, for ratio sake we'll compare it to someone having killed a member of your family or a close loved one in a brutal murder, yet don't limit yourself to this example.

Simply imagine that someone has done something utterly devastating to you and that you want revenge.

In this example we'll imagine that you caught the person or can catch them if you wanted to.

You have ALL the means in the world, there are no limits to what you can do to him (of course within the laws of reality and phsyics)

I want to know what your version of ultimate revenge is.

An eye for an eye?

Humble acception?

Forgive and forget?

How would you get back to your arch enemy?

Furthermore, before you think of what you would do or not do I would like to suggest that you give two answers to my question.

For the sake of reality you can surely answer what you WOULD truly do, and for the sake of making this thread interesting you could simply add what you believe would be an adequate form of revenge by using a bit of that imagination you're all so good with.

No one is here to judge you.

I know of someone id like to see fall. its a personal issue, for all the wrongs that person did. however, it wont be by my hand. im a firm believer what comes around, goes around, as well as every dog has its day. that person will come looking for me oneday, as its unfinished business.

Well I think the degree of my retaliation would depend on how heinously I was wronged. If a member of my family or close friends were casualties, I would utterly destroy my enemy, without mercy. Yeah.

Yeah, it would be difficult to know unless I was in the situation. On the one hand I would want to say I would follow my Christian beliefs and just forgive them, but I've never been put in a situation where someone has done a great harm to me so I can't exactly imagine it. However, if they had done a super horrible thing to me, I might kill them. Or maybe kill a member of their family so they would have to live with the grief, or shoot up an entire limb so they could never live with that limb again, or shoot their crotch so.....yeah. I'd probably want them to live with the torture and the grief. If not that, I would just beat them to a pulp and not quite kill them, just leave them bruised, battered, and bloody.

As difficult as it'd be, I'd try my hardest to forgive the jerk.

Of course, if God said, "sure, go ahead and get whatever revenge you wish," I'd have a hayday with the asshole. I'd probably do something along the lines of what they did to my loved one, only in a more gruesome and torturous method.

Interesting to read your responses.

I'm alot more sadistic.


If I were in a situation where someone took family away from me, I would forgive and forget in real life,

but if I could do anything in my power, without worry of retaliation or fear of damnation, I would destroy their lives, not them.

I would never hurt them, I would want them to live a very long life. I would want them to live until they die old and wrinkled. But I would take away everything and everyone they've ever lived for, loved for or cared for. I would make their life useless.

But that's just what my imagination would do, in my heart I wouldn't be able to deal with actually doing that, I would feel too guilty.

Interesting though.

I would destroy their lives, not them.




the person i was talking about jaid, is already suffering his fate. his life was destroyed, shortly after he destroyed his daughters spirit and life. he controlled what she ate to the point of malnourishment, bulmia and anorexia. he destroyed her spirit and strength until she was terrified of her own shadow. he mentally and emotional abused her, and worse, he beat her till she was black and blue.

in return she found a little strength and did something about it. she destroyed his life in the process. he now lives with the agony of a son who is gay which to him is the ultimate shame, a daughter that refuses to acknowledge his existance, and 3 beautiful grandchildren he will never see unless they specifically choose to.

and i know to this day...he lives with the shame, humility and pain of his own actions. and do you know what...


hes not worth my time or effort. i wont sink down to his level. but never again can i look apon him as a father. all he is to me is the donor that helped create me, and i curse that blood. ill tell it to his face oneday.

Well,if someone did truly and greatly wrong me,i mean we're talking,it would have to be huge,massive,for instance if they killed my family,i'd kill their friends,their family,their friend's familes,burn down their houses,burn down the places they work,destroy every memory of them,and the person themself? i'd find something truly horrific and painful for them,a rare delight.
Now i would only do that if they had wiped out my family,although i'd proberly be even more pissed if they hurt my friends.
Hmmm,i'm fairly violent sometimes.

"Never to forget. Never to forgive." - Old Fremen maxim.

"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." - Genesis 9:6

If a person(s) killed a member of my family purposefully, then in reality I would beat them to within an inch of death and hand them over to the authorities. Although it's a total joke, let our legal system do what it may.

In make-believe-land where I am above the law, I would simply find that person(s) and kill them. Quick. Clean. A shot to the head. Goodnight.

Poking an eye out with a stick (pref. bamboo) is the perfect revenge in every situation where revenge is needed!

Depending on how extreme the crime against me or one of my loved ones would depend on the amount of punishment I would dish out. If it was extreme, the punishment would be as well. My daughter is extremely important to me as she should be. If someone did something to her, I would show no mercy. I tend to see red were she is concerned. I have already had extreme situations happen to me and I won't go into them but I can tell you that I did not play the victim well and they got theirs. Sometimes it is better to walk away but other times you must stand and fight. I am not a coward so, I chose to stand and fight in these cases.

If the crime was not extreme and more a kind of verbal bullshit nothing, I would not think on it much depending on who it was. You can always ignore crap like that if you chose to. If it were a close friend then I may not ignore it but certainly I would not go to some extreme unless they did first. It should not get to that point though. You can always talk about something before it gets out of control if both parties are willing. If not then they aren't worth your time and should be dismissed like yesterday's garbage.

If one completely understood another being, he would seize to differ from opinion with that individual, or at least accept it as a truth. I would wheep, and if the pain was too large to handle, I would end my own life.

Coooooool..

Yeah that's a good one.

Somebody hurts one or both of the kids (badly) he's dead. Or I'll die trying. Don't know what I'd do for other family members/friends. Some things are too awful to contemplate or plan for...
Money wrongs = sue them.
I think a lot like Bartlett but I would see red for the kids I guess...

ditto FOTH no one touches my kids in any violent way. id out right kill them. mind you with, our justice system, chances are id get charged or locked up for it, but it would be worth it for the saftey of my children. (well that is unless i use a broom stick in my own home, then its classified as self defence cause im a single mum)

HU! I would never commit suicide. Ever!

I would rather suffer and die the most horrible death than take my own life.

I think that being forced to do so would most likely be the ulitmate revenge on me, if someone could manage to force me to kill myself, that would be the worst way to go in my opinion.

Maybe that's why I see fit to destroy ones life as an act of revenge, because they would most likely rather die than live it, hence they would commit the act which I so hate.
