On the concept of 'getting even'....

They are RIGHT ON when they say "revenge" or "justice" isn't our job. Sometimes we don't get the luxury. Rest assured that whatever comes next will take care of itself. My God will get the rapist that had to drug me to take advantage of me & felt that I was easy/cheap/incapacitated enough to do so. I can't possibly inflict enough pain (even in my greatest dreams) for what the scum did. However, The Big Guy upstairs (& the Universe as a whole) has MUCH bigger powers than I do & I can take AGES of solace in that. I've laid it at their feet (proverbial, stone or otherwise) & have made my peace with it. I can pity his soul & laugh at how foolish he's been with the gift his life could've been.

Go forward & put your faith & energies along those lines....think about what people like that do to themselves. Have you ever seen a tornado that made things look pretty? Ever seen a fire not cause damage? Ever seen cancer make cells more alive? Yeah, same concept.....but from those tornados comes the opportunity to build to better codes & plant prettier flowers, out of the ashes comes a more nutrient-rich soil without the underbrush clutter so things grow quicker & out of cancer comes either everlasting life or a MUCH stronger survivor.


Take your pick & walk your path with unwavering conviction...it looks much better on you than pain & angst.
