Releasing yourself from the connection to anger is a powerful choice

Releasing yourself from the connection to anger is a powerful choice

When you’ve been wronged and hurt, it is normal to imagine seeking revenge on the person who hurt you. Maybe you think about a revenge fantasy or want to get back at that person, or you feel strongly about pursuing legal action. The idea of revenge seems like it would be satisfying and help resolve the wrong from the past. 

This may seem reasonable for a while and can give you a sense of vindication. But sometimes, people get stuck in these thoughts, hoping revenge will be the answer to help them feel better. However, in reality, seeking revenge is not as great as you might think.

How do you get past revenge when there is no apparent justice?
