Decisions made in malice will bare hefty consequences.
Vindictive words, intentions, and actions will cause significant and unnecessary challenges. Think carefully before reacting or you may end up paying the price. Retaliating out of spite only provides temporary gratification and often leads to relationship breakdowns and emotional turmoil.
When provoked, step through your emotions and give yourself time to put things into perspective. This will provide the space necessary to see your situation with greater clarity. Plotting vengeful reactions in haste will only lead to repercussions and regret. If you have already retaliated, bear the consequences, apologize for your behavior, and learn from the experience. Continuing to manipulate the situation will only intensify the drama.
