revenge or walk away?

Taking revenge or Just "being the bigger person" and walking away

generally speaking, which truly gives the greatest satisfaction? if someone has wronged you and isn't sorry and you have the power to wound (metaphorically speaking) do you? I actually think vengeance is underrated, it teaches lessons?

Being that "being the bigger person" is the bigger ego trip to me, I would just walk away.

Walk away and forget about it. Most of the time the other person spends every waking moment focusing their energy on hating you, while you are in peace and doing your own thing.

Pretty much this. I've always gotten way more satisfaction from being chill about it.

Depends on what they're doing.

Depends. If you can screw up their day shortly after they have messed up yours without doing anything you'll regret then revenge is great. If you let it fester though its gonna [censored] you up.

It wholly depends on what they did.

Small stuff? I'll just keep on going about my day.

Big stuff, tragic stuff? I'm gonna do my very best to make life absolute hell for the offending party.

I'd go along with this, seems a very reasonable approach to me.

It depends on the situation. If there's a legit need to provide a deterrent to prevent future problems, then sometimes "hitting back" is appropriate. In those cases I prefer the "extreme prejudice" approach. If I'm going to have to react aggressively, then it's really going to leave a mark to make sure I don't ever have to do it again. In other cases, though, I'd rather not sink to their level. If I attack when there's no need for it then I'm not much better than they are. If there's a way to subtly shame them for their stupidity in the process, then all the better.
