REVENGE IS A SEDUCTIVE LITTLE BITCH

The sound of The Foreign Exchange serenades my office. Then there’s me: completely relaxed, sitting at my desk sipping on a cup of green tea in an almost nirvana like state. My thoughts replay the events and emotions of my day as I randomly burst into laughter.

Not a chuckle, but like an “I’m watching Martin Lawrence: You So Crazy stand up” laugh……smh… Revenge. What the hell is revenge exactly? Merriam-Webster says its “retaliation; an opportunity to gain satisfaction for wrongs done” It’s like “getting even” if you will…So say if you stole my jacket and I steal your shoes, we’re even right? We’ve both experienced a loss, revenge was served, right? Ooh, if it were only that simple my friends!

Generally when a person is wronged, tit for tat is NOT enough. The person initially wronged wants to “up the ante” because the feelings felt are NEVER equal. The sensation you get is undeniable when revenge offers you a sweet allure and seduces you into thinking “since I’m hurt or I’m embarrassed or I was fooled, I’m going to make them feel how I feel, I’m gonna make them feel ashamed about themselves or I’m gonna make them see the consequences of their actions in public." Trust me, I know the feeling all too well but at some point in your life you have to raise the question “How does me feeling SO good about getting revenge on another person make ME look?” Stupid, that’s what! You are pretty much saying with your ACTIONS “Hey, YOU can’t do that to me!” Well guess what? Someone JUST did! Please believe the satisfaction of revenge is SO INSTANT. Once the smoke settles and the peanut gallery moves on to the next public drama, the truth of the matter is that you’re STILL hurt, you’re STILL offended and you STILL feel EVERYTHING you felt BEFORE retaliating, so why even waste your fucking time? Ultimately, you’re gonna end up RIGHT back at the place you started from, cruising down Looking Dumb Boulevard! Trust. Experience was my greatest teacher…

It’s evident that men feel with their pride and ego and women feel with their emotions. When men feel violated or “stunted on” they feel as if their man hood was compromised, so they aim to “stunt” harder, get MORE bitches than the next dude and a mixture of a whole bunch of other superficial bullshit. However, when a woman’s feelings are hurt, the act of revenge can eclipse any thought or act she could ever imagine she would do. Just look at Steve McNair. He was a football star, happily married with children; wanted to gas up a side bitch and look what happened;

She KILLED that nigga AND herself! All because her “feelings” were hurt. Smh… Revenge is NOT sweet, it’s bitter! The issue with revenge is that it plants a nasty little seed that gives off a nasty little blossom. We ALL know bitter bitches and brothas when we see one. You know, the chick or dude who months or even years later, is STILL reciting the evils done to them by someone else, and still telling the tale of what they did in return. Feelings fester when we do not deal with them directly. We may not see it, but the people around us certainly do.

So, to shorten a blog I could perpetuate profusely, peeps you have to be more aware of your actions and reactions towards people. Be confident that what a person puts out into the universe, they will get back, both good and bad. Note to chicks: quit tryna create a person’s Karma because “you mad”. In due time, all the stars will align and God will present the master design of Karma to an individual so profound, they will be forced to grow and learn from it. I am a living testament. Don’t be SO salty that you allow yourself to get enticed by revenge’s sweet nectar. Be easy. Be wise. Desire growth. Practice maturity. Love.
