"He that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well." John Milton
A Facebook friend's status said, "I am gonna laugh when karma punches you in the face." It is natural to want to retaliate when someone hurts us. I guess some people refrain from exacting revenge themselves, but they wish that karma/the universe/God/fate will somehow get the person who wronged them.
I believe, that as a general rule, what goes around eventually comes around. Sow bad behavior and you will reap an unpleasant harvest. And while it is good not to take matters into your own hands, is it that much of an improvement to spend your time and energy hoping that something awful will happen to the person who hurt you? Your hurt (however justified) needs to heal, and you can participate in that process or hinder it with dreams of revenge.
