Smart n Cold Ways Of Taking Revenge

First things first, revenge is not a very positive emotion. However, we are all tempted to take revenge or think about taking revenge once in a while. After all, we are all just human and have our weaknesses. So if you have decided firmly about taking revenge, then make sure you do it right. It doesn't make any sense to seek vengeance and not be able to carry through your plan.

That is why, you need to do some homework even for taking revenge. Here are some ways to make sure that your revenge is cold and calculated.

Taking Revenge

Never On Impulse

There is a famous saying that revenge is a dish best eaten cold. So you must never try to seek revenge on impulse. Wait for sometime so that the person who has wronged you forgets and becomes comfortable. Only when revenge is cold can it be effective.

Bide Your Time

You must wait for the right opportunity to take revenge. Be watchful and observe carefully. When you sense an opportunity coming, strike instantly. For example, you know one of your wife's friends hits on her and tries to humiliate you. Wait for a chance when your wife is pissed off with this friend for some unrelated reason. At that point of time, say something incriminating about him. That will do the job.

Save Yourself

Self preservation is the most important thing in life. You must never put yourself in harm's way just for taking revenge from someone else. It would be like crashing your own car to make someone else meet with an accident. Revenge is successful only when you remain unscathed in the process.

Plan It Well

Everything in life cannot be planned. But vengeance should always be planned. You must weight, calculate and plan every step of your revenge. Only then will it come out to be successful. Sometimes, you might get lucky by getting the right opportunities but you still need a plan to execute it properly. For example, if you want to complain about your mother-in-law to your husband, you need to plan the details and timing carefully. Or else, he will get you completely wrong.

In The End It Doesn't Count

After your vengeance is over, you will realise that it gives you only momentary satisfaction. Years of keeping grudges takes a lot out of you emotionally. Compared to that, taking revenge is a shallow feeling of victory. That is why, it is best not to keep grudges or be vengeful.
