The question is... which lottery?, there are so many worldwide that the odds are that one of them would win with those numbers

Sometimes you just cant forgive and forget, as much as you want to. I'm all for Karma too, What goes around, comes around......................... just wish it was a bit quicker sometimes!!!!

Burbage

Not being a Christian I have no need to consider the concept of forgiveness.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer still...

I can forgive and forget very easy for me and all our family we are all like that, life is too. Often you find the person you disliked turns out to be really nice and you get on like a house on fire. If you did not forgive you would miss out.

But by the same token the person you forgive could turn out to be a very convincing liar and you could end up the victim of some very nasty stuff.

I believe in karma - 7 years ago a lowlife mounted the kerb and ran over my 15 yr old son leaving him with serious injuries, he then drove off - he'd been in the pub from 1pm onwards and it was on his way home at 8.45pm it happened. He disappeared for 3 days so he couldn't be breath trested. During all the court case he didn't display any remorse what so ever - his family also I used to fantasize about the things I was gonna do (and found a side of me that I didn't even knew existed) to the point it made me quite ill so eventually I had to find ways of moving on. Now the good part - a few Christmas ago he went on his works 'do' (his girlfriend had given birth to their first baby 2 weeks previously) so was a double celebration. On his way home with 4 work mates one of them jumped on his back sending him flying, in the process breaking both his legs and other injuries he spent the whole of Christmas and New Year in hospital so yeah it's karma all the way btw son now 22 is ok

I know exactly what you mean. I would never wish anyone dead but felt indifferent as to whether that person lived or died. Then when they died I wished if things had been different and felt guilty for the harsh words previously exchanged and for not reaching out to them before it was too late. But same as you I can't forgive what the person did - not even in death.

Something that I have great difficulty with is forgiving betrayal. Once committed, forever destroyed.

Well I heard ages ago that the best revenge was to live your life well.

So I did an internet search on it to see which famous person said that, all i got was REM have a new single out called "Living well's the best revenge"

But it is true. But it is very a slow process (think 10+ years). Rather than dwelling on the wrongs done to me earlier in life, I now look back and think, I wonder how screwed up their lives are now. I occasionally hear, and it just re-inforces the saying

Living your life well is the best revenge.

Cos now I couldn't give a damn about them.

Eggs are for juveniles. Grown ups use rocks and kerosene in glass bottles with pieces of threads hanging out the bottle opening Oh I forgot to mention the all important lighter!

What size hatchet should I bring? The biggest one I reckon
