Get even then.
My revenge fantasies stopped the minute I realized how much more I could kick ass than all those bullies of mine combined.

I don't care it it makes me a malicious jerk, but I smile every time I see how badly they're doing nowadays (and yes, every single one of them is doing bad), even though it's been 10+ years. I don't think I'm a bad person, I just think I have a very humane reaction to people who used to be little shits as kids and still haven't outgrown their better-than-thou attitude. At least I know I'm being a bitch. (And it's not like I'm antagonizing my former bullies - but it's reassuring to know I could if I wanted to.)

Wait, what? There's a difference between having a little perverse pleasure in knowing your bullies are doing bad, and actually getting even. I don't know what you're trying to say.

Anyway, I've found that when I do get revenge in a way that actually hurts someone, it never makes me feel better. It just makes me feel like now I'm just the same as them. I think that's the more common reaction.

I cannot tell if AYRT is giving advice vaguely along the lines of "the best revenge is living well" or whether they actually did directly retaliate in some form.

Personally I've never really gotten revenge on anybody so I don't know how it would feel, but I agree with you that a little schadenfreude is somewhat different and probably better-feeling than actual serious retribution. Fantasies and feelings are different than the consequences of real actions.
