It is a lot of effort getting revenge, and can leave you bitter and twisted. Also you may wonder if really you should have done what you did. How refreshing it is though when you find out life or someone else has done the dirty deed for you and it was nothing you did…
Revenge without guilt is a pleasure, One that is quite hard to measure, To see their burst bubble, As they run into trouble, Is one experience you just have to treasure. ~The downside is that you may feel guilty for feeling happy. The solution to this is to just stop feeling guilty, open a can of beer, relax and again enjoy the moment…
