People are going to hurt you. The are going to make you angry and sometimes they are going to make you wish that you never knew them. It is going to hurt, especially when it comes from people who told you that they would never do anything to hurt you, and now they are doing everything they can to try and bring you down. And you might think that you need to get back at them, but in all honesty, it isn't that important. It is much more important to live and live happily.

In today's world, too many people think that the best way to cope with things is to get even with someone, but it isn't. The best way "to get even" is to be truly happy. Nothing makes someone more angry than knowing their petty behavior is not effecting you or the person you are becoming.

Happiness is better than revenge for a number of reasons. One being that revenge accomplishes nothing. To know that someone wants to see you hurt is bad enough, why would you want to see them hurt as well? Revenge gets you nowhere, because if you participate back in it, then you are just as bad as the person trying to get revenge on you. Getting revenge on someone may feel good for a couple of days, but in the end, you are stuck with the actions that you did in that moment, and you will never be able to take them back, so what's the point?

Happiness is so much better than revenge. When people want to see you sink, they do not want to see you thriving on life and everything that it is bringing you. They don't want to see you happy and smiling, so the best thing you can do is be happy and smile. When you choose happiness, you are letting go of all of the negative things someone has done to you. Not only is it good to let go of it for yourself, but it also allows you the time you need to move on with your life. You can't move on if you are holding on to the past, so when you finally decide to let go of the past and move on, happiness is waiting for you at the corner. And there is nothing better than being 100 percent happy in who you are.

When you think that revenge is the best option, remember that the people trying to seek revenge on you want to see you fall. They don't want to see you stand tall and ignore them, they want you to feed into their immature ways. The best thing you can do is to be happy with yourself and who you are. Find the confidence you have been working to find, so that you can be a better version of yourself-- the best version you can be. because nothing makes someone more annoyed than seeing you the happiest you have ever been.
