Revenge...
When somebody betrays you, resist the urge to retaliate: Getting revenge probably won’t make you feel better in the end, new research from Washington University suggests.
That’s because revenge seems to spark a whole host of contradictory emotions—and not all of them good.
In the study, the participants read a story in which someone sought revenge. Afterwards, they reported feeling positive emotions like satisfied, pleased, and calm. That’s likely because people believe that an important goal has been accomplished—someone had been punished for doing something wrong, .
But the story also triggered some negative feelings just as strongly as it did positive ones. People often don’t anticipate having negative reactions to getting revenge. They think it will lead strictly to satisfaction, but it doesn’t.
These negative feelings likely arise because the act of revenge serves as a reminder of the harm the person caused in the first place which makes you feel lousy all over again.
The problem is, that awesome feeling fades quickly, leaving you potentially feeling even worse than before.
So fight the urge to punch your ex-buddy in the face for steeling your girlfriend. Both may have been not worth it, Move on.

“What does Professor Christine Blasey Ford gain by bringing forth her accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanauagh?” .
She becomes a feminist icon, her professorship is burnished, she makes a fortune writing a book, enjoys lucrative lecture tours and is hailed a #MeToo heroine
It is wrong to wait over 35 years to denigrate anyone who attended that alcohol-fueled event. If Professor Ford, the alleged victim, is victorious and Judge Kavanaugh’s career and reputation go down in flames, it will hurt women in general. Christine would then epitomize the female predator waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Throughout history, starting with Eve in the Bible, women have been branded dangerous, destructive and scheming. Even the ancient Greeks, the most enlightened, intellectual people of all time, refused to teach women to read, claiming it would be “like giving poison to a snake.”
"The method Professor Ford is using to destroy a man adds credence to the opinion all females are hazardous."[Roz Heid, Baltimore- The Baltimore Sun]
When you seek vengeance, you hurt yourself as well, if not more. You are not going to feel good about hurting someone regardless if it is warranted or not. Your anger toward this person will only increase if you preoccupy yourself with revenge. ... “The best revenge is just moving on and getting over it.

The State Department says the U.S. consulate in the southern Iraqi city of Basra is being evacuated following attacks blamed on Iran-backed militias.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted that Iran-supported militias "recently" launched rocket attacks against the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and the consulate in Basra.
Basra is Iraq's main port and one of its largest cities. Earlier this month, three Katyusha rockets were fired at the city's airport following a chaotic and violent night that saw hundreds of protesters burning tires on main streets and highways and setting ablaze the Iranian consulate in the city.
Protesters called for an end to endemic corruption, soaring joblessness and poor public services and have turned their rage on neighboring Iran, blaming its outsized influence in Iraq's political affairs for their misery.
