Someone treats you badly and a plan starts forming. Not always a dramatic one. Sometimes it’s just coldness, a cutting remark you’re saving, a door you’ll let slam.
The best revenge is to be unlike the one who caused the harm.
To pay back cruelty, you practice cruelty. To answer pettiness, you study it. Every act of getting even is a training session in becoming what you resent.
Their behavior is a fact about them. Your response is a fact about you, and it’s the only fact you control.
The person who wronged you loses twice when you stay yourself. They failed to change you. And they have to keep being themselves.
Refuse the trade. Stay who you were before they arrived.
