We all have had people in our lives who we don't like. Maybe they have picked on us, or told rumours about us, or done us wrong when we feel we are innocent.
It is funny how, out of nowhere, you can be living your life, happy with your universe, and then something happens that makes you remember what one of those people has done. You wonder what they are doing, are they aware of how their behaviour affected you and are wracked with remorse. Or has karma had its revenge and something bad (but not too bad) happened to them that will make things even.
But you know what, it doesn't matter. The bumps in the road of your life are yours to own and are yours to grow from. You can't go back, and while it can be vaguely satisfying to plot your revenge, it isn't really helpful.
So today, as one of those memories surfaces in my mind, I am choosing to wish the perpetrator well and continue to live by a cliche: the ultimate revenge is to live your life well.
