Steve O'Reilly Presents: How to Get Revenge the Ethical Way When Dealing With Bullies and Toxic Co-workers
EXCERPT
"If revenge is a terrorist act on your community, then resentment is a terrorist act on yourself."
"Don't spend all your effort destroying a single man who wronged you, seek to destroy the power that he holds over you."
"I don't like the word karma. Karma is an overused word, used by weak people as a convenient solution when really nothing has been solved. Karma is a lazy way to explain the misfortune of a past abuser, yet it doesn't explain the misfortune of the victim being abused, unless that person too is experiencing karma, making the whole karma thing wishy-washy."
"Save your money for when Murphy's Law is traveling under street lights and weaving in and out of orange traffic cones at great speeds, moving through your city with mental illness-like determination to drop-kick your head down Interstate 95, because guess what? It's your turn for Murphy to pay you a visit."

* What are some real-life examples that you can give us that illustrates re-creating yourself in an attempt to destroy another person's power over you?
* Don't you think it's going overboard to take a sort of pleasure in watching other people make bad decisions?
* Going back to declaring war on someone's power over you, how would you define power as you understand it?
