The misconception of getting even.

So many times I hear this, "I need to get even with x, y and z to make things right, to feel better...". Really? You absolutely NEED to get even...? Why? Why do you think that you need to get even? Do you really think it will make you feel better to hurt someone just because they hurt you? Why do you think they hurt you in the first place? Because they are ALREADY hurting!
Who are you to decide the right amount of pain to inflict on someone else to make something right? Do you heal pain with pain? How do you make things "right" by hurting someone else?
That just doesn't make any logical sense. 

Every time you get even with someone, you step further away from happiness. 

Don't ever try to make "things right" by getting even; you only end up hurting yourself. 
Just let go and get over yourself. There are more important things to life.

"The only people you should get even with are those who have helped you."
Napoleon Hill 1883-1970, Author
