Is it acceptable behavior to be passive and let bye-gones be bye gones?

Question

If someone robs you...defames you...Makes a following of mockers to harass you...and doesn't have the guts to confront you....oh..don't forget the nasty rumors.....When is it time to Not Be Nice and exercise the muscles of your middle finger and say things you may or may not regret later? Is there a line between assertiveness and aggression? Even if only expressed verbally? How long must the road to Peace become? Is it really better to live and let live? Grudges lead no where....And lawyers are expensive....I realize...by harboring resentment....I allow my past to control me...So..regardless of your answer(still wanted) I intend to rid myself of all my hatred and anger....Good day...cheerio....Hmmm....Aint workin' I'm still TICKED RIGHT OFF!!! but I'm workin on not bein ticked right off....scuse the grammar insuffiencies

Answer 1

sometimes you need to stand up for yourself..

even the most patience person will be provoked one day...

let go of your emotions..

before....

err...

you kill someone...

Answer 2

If a tragedy such as being robbed, raped, things like that , after I got all the satisfaction from the authorities and everything was properly done to the person or persons then I would go no further but I would never forgive or forget and I wouldn't do anymore about it . Justice was served and that is good enough for me...

Answer 3

I would say so. It just goes to show how much more grown up you really are, and that you're the bigger person. It's tough! But it can be done. Sometimes things or people will cause you to blow when the tension inside has been built up. But all it matters is how you really want to feel. I certainly like everyone else would prefer good feelings more than bad. Good enough, yes?

Answer 4

I myself would ridicule them to the point they punch me first then it's self defense...heehehehe
