^LOL. My ideas are not novel. They’ve been mentioned by others in this thread and in other similar threads, though each person’s wording may be different.

To answer your question…(I don’t have an exact answer to this question and to many questions)

It could depend upon your beliefs. I’ve heard that scores will be settled on the Day of the judgement. I’ve even heard that there will a court to settle issues. Perhaps if you don’t witness the person getting their “just desserts” in this world…maybe you’ll see it in the next world. If you believe in a Day of Judgment…where justice will be done…perhaps this view can bring some peace.

**There’s the saying that the best revenge is to lead a happy life. Sure, it’s easier said than done. But spending every waking minute of your life in the hope that the offender is being punished…not only does the negativity consume you…it’s unhealthy (stress related illnessess)…and in such waiting…you can end up not living your own life to the fullest. Those moments that you wasted wishshing that XYZ is leading a miserable life…could have been spend doing something positive for yourself. So, in a way, you’re making your own life shorter. You can wait and there’s a chance that you may not see the just desserts…or you can try to learn from a negative situation and try to move forward with your life. **

**Your “gain” may not necessarily be that person’s misery. Your “gain” could be strength, development of character, some lesson you learned. What you might have perceived as a “loss” could actually open the door or pave the way toward a more positive opportunity in the future. Maybe your “gain” could be better than another person’s suffering.

I dunno. I sway back and forth. There are a few people I would like to see not only get their just desserts but also come to the realization and feel shame for their offenses. But then I remind myself…that I’m only wasting minutes off my life and making it shorter for people who I don’t owe anything to…and who aren’t worth it.

Excellently written !

I also got very bitter and negative after what happened in my life. But the truth is that the best revenge is to lead a happy life. I firmly believe now that any person who has made your miserable or has hurt you does not deserve your time and attention. Yes its easier said than done. But if you keep on repeating in your mind the wrong doings done to you it will only make you more miserable and the moments of life you could have spend happily and in peace would be ruined by your negative thoughts. But at the end of the day we all are human beings past can not be forgotten so easily & completely esp if you were the victim but we can try to forget believe me with every try you make things only get better. Leave everything in Allah’s hands because we are mortals with limited knowledge but He has unlimited knowledge and power and the way He can do justice on one can ! Allah doesn’t have a time frame it can take years also and it can take day or as a matter of fact minutes also. It’s His decision ,once we give things in His hands we should just do sabar and have faith one his justice.
