A series of experiments led by the late Kevin Carlsmith, a researcher at Colgate University, showed that while most people believed revenge would make them feel better, in reality it did the opposite.

In one experiment, participants were divided into "punishers," who could get revenge on someone who double-crossed them during a game, and "nonpunishers," who weren't given this opportunity. Punishers and nonpunishers rated their feelings immediately after the game, as well as 10 minutes later.

"Punishers actually felt worse than forecasters predicted they would have felt," the researchers wrote. "Punishers even felt worse than nonpunishers, despite getting the chance to take their revenge. Ten minutes after the game, punishers continued to brood on the [double-crosser] significantly more than the others did."

I'm sorry but this study is dumb. Not that I think revenge is good, but because you can't compare a simple game in a controlled study to something serious--an action that would genuinely give a person reason to contemplate revenge. For example, someone stealing your intellectual property or causing you to get fired. This study implies people don't feel better after revenge and while I imagine that's true, these situations aren't comparable to real-life cases of revenge.

Honestly?? I can’t wait to get back to school because these past 3 months since I last finished my exams were so incredibly uneventful and unproductive. The bump that I had at the inside of the bottom of my thumb caused by me holding my pen too tightly is completely gone haha.
