Planning Revenge Against Someone

Written by Alex Marlin on November 9, 2007 – 2:38 am -


The truth is simple as this: “When you plan revenge against someone who did you wrong, your letting them hurt you all over again.” I see this often and the first response from anyone who gets hurt, is to get even, isn’t that the same reason they say, don’t fight fire with fire. You have fought enough in your youth, and you have only one fight left and that is to fight for a better life for yourself.

It makes no sense going after anyone who did you wrong, because your wasting precious moments planning evil thoughts, that only gets you into more trouble. It is easier to turn the other cheek and face that person at a later time and show them that your not afraid, and just keep out of their way. Just forget about getting even and focus on not letting anyone hurt you that way again. In other words, you have to make sure to never make that same mistake twice.

It is easier said than done, because when we are hurting the only satisfaction we can get at that moment would be to see that person hurt for what they did.

So why is there no justice in this world?

I can feel the pain of those that has been hurt before and I know that you have wondered about this yourself. Are we the makers of this universe? Do we dictate who gets hurt or what happens to them? Can we decide who lives or dies? No, No, No, and we will never ever have that kind of power. We don’t control no one, but we do control our own life and the decisions we make at any given time.

As you can see it makes absolutely no sense thinking or even planning to hurt someone. You will only be hurting yourself, especially if your a person that has ambition and goals.

You have the power to overcome anything

You have not even touched the potential that your given when you were born, and the unlimited growth that awaits you once you learn how to control your own life. It is that power that makes us do the right thing and that is to forgive and walk away and start the next day as if we have been given a new life. To anyone who has been hurt before, you have that power if you were able to get on with your life after being hurt so badly that you wanted to give up and part from this world. Don’t let anyone take that away from you, we still have to see if we can face such a pain and move on.

I always say that I had an easy life, and I do plan to keep it that way. My pains were mild compared to the pains I have seen others go through. I am thankful for that. My minor aches and pains don’t count, I honor those that can get up and face the world daily and find the strength to move on.

One thing I would like to add and that is, if you thin your pain is so bad that you can’t go on with your life, think again. There is always someone in this world that has been through worse than you, and they have found the courage and strength to move on.

If they can move on and make a better life for themselves, then I see no reason why you can’t find the strength to move on also.

Where do you find the nerves of steel in your body?

Sometimes my sub-headlines makes me smile, because I have no clue where they come from, but I just write and they show up. I know you will be smiling now also. My point is that in life we have to smile more and try to enjoy life more. You need a reason to live on and that is what gives us those nerves of steel. You have to love yourself more than anything or anyone in this world, a sort of un-dieing love. A love so strong that you won’t ever wish to hurt yourself or hurt anyone in this world. A love like the love a mother has for her new born child, that is the closest type of love I can compare this with.

In everyone’s life, you will come to a point in life where you will be dealt some hard blows, and I mean the kind that really hurts way down deep inside, right in the pit of your stomach while at the same time making your heart feel like it will explode. It is at this time that you will have to call on your un-dieing love. You will have to get the strength together to say that you love yourself more than anything in this life, and no one will take that away from you. Only that will, can and will save your day.

Getting over the pain is easier said than done

Sometime it is all chatter and less action, but at times when you are hurting we need a friend of two to listen to us. but, that on it’s own is not enough, you need the strength to go do something that will take your mind of the pain. You have to fight your own mind, and every flash of what happen, you will have to suppress.

My Mom always says: “Time heals all wounds, just give yourself time to heal.”

I do honestly believe that is true, but how do we go on, and at the same remain the person we was before the pain?

I wish that I could honestly explain you how to go on with your life after a devastating moment, but I would be fooling myself, because I have never been there and was never put into such an awkward situation that I just didn’t know what to do, or how to go on with my life.

All that I can say is that within each one of us lies that power to move on. We will have to confront such a challenge in life at least once, some people has been through that many times, they know now exactly what it takes. They are much stronger, and deals with pain on a totally different level than one who has never ever experienced any kind of hurt in their live.It can be when your Mom dies, that will also be one such a moment. We all believe that when that times come we will be able to deal with it, but the truth is we just never ever know.

Getting over your pain isn’t easy, and I do believe it is the defining moment for anyone in their life, it is the test of all times and the power hour for many. If you survive through that moment in time, you should honestly see your own strengths and know that you can overcome anything that life throws at you.

My words for that is: “When my time comes I will see how I will deal with it!”

The ones with all the answers fails such challenges

Have you ever noticed that the people who seem to always give answers to the toughest questions are the one who can seldom deal with it. You have to live life with your mind set on encountering a little disappointments. Once you plan your life that way, you will move on with much more confidence, because you always made space for things going wrong in your life. If you live your life as if your perfect, it is that attitude that sets you up for unrecoverable failure.

No one is perfect, and that is why you too must understand that things will happen in your life that you never planned for. That’s just another part of life, that you have to deal with. When things are going wrong accept them, and focus your mind on accepting these set backs as important for future growths. Don’t dwell on them, let life go on, and you adjust and make your life better with each passing day.

One question lingers in my head

As I watch and observe the things we are faced with daily, I am always asking this one question; Why do certain people have it so hard in life?

I honestly watched someone walking back to the job today, and it dawned on me, this person has no car, and they come to work on a daily basis. Why doesn’t she have a car?

I have witnessed many of my friends go through pain breaking moment one after another. Why are the plagued with pain striking moments?

I have witnessed people living so poor, that they eat rice and honey, without any type of meat. Why are they so poor?

I have seen many many things that I just keep wondering, and I know you wonder also. As I stated before in this article, you nor I am not the maker of life, we do not give nor take and to end I will add you do not make anyone rich or poor, good or bad.

Your life is what you make of it, and that is why you desire to want more out of life is what is lacking, and there is no other way you can get a better life. What movie are you watching? Your life is actually a movie, and your the star player, so why not rewrite your script and make yourself the star of a better movie, one with lots of love, happiness, health and money. Use your mind for good, and stop planning evil for others that has done you wrong, that script should be shredded, start over from the beginning if you have to, and create a movie for yourself that even I will be proud to watch.

To all those who has been hurt in the past: “You can’t change your past, but you definitely can change your future. You can’t change how you feel, but you change what your going to do about it.”

    Very amazing, I don’t even know where I should start with the complements. You are doing excellent. You grab my attention every day with the things that you write about.

    I would like to know where you get all that inspiration from to write so well.

    Commenting on: “One question lingers in my head”

    For the people who go throw a lot on a daily basis or those who face problems from time to time. They are not to blame for some things just happen so you can gain experience. But I personally feel that to get out of the situation, and into a better one lies in their hands.

    You have to want better, to get better.

    Some people live in one situation all there life that they don’t know how it would feel to be in another situation. So when we see it as something bad, as a problem, they just see it as their daily life style.

    Hey just keep up the great writing.

    Hi Alex, Great posting…………I was very much inspired by it, I have to comment on this one and give some insight on how one can try and get over pain. Sometimes we never really get over pain and the hurt but instead we have to learn to accept it. Try and use that pain as a torch which can light a dark tunnel to getting the things that we trully desire and that are really important in life.

    I think you are doing an awesome job and I know that you are one of the first people in SXM who has expanded their mind by writing the things that people go through and think about everyday but just may not have the courage to speak out about.

  3. Alex Marlin Says:

    Estella, I can honestly say that you’re the one that can give account to this situation. I know you have been getting a lot of flack about what has happened, and many people don’t agree and try to put blame on you also.

    Everyone will have their own opinion, but if it was to happen to them they would see all from a different light. Some people just sit and blame and try to bring others down. Don’t let what others think bother you.

    In life we will always be confronted with different issues, and everyone uses their own methods for getting over certain things, and I admire your way of doing this. You stood strong and survived.

    Your moment for piece and sunshine is now, enjoy and keep smiling.

    I honestly feel that the best way to get over everything is by talking about it. You have shown that it doesn’t bother you as much as it did before.

    I love your method of accepting it and moving on, try also to suppress the negative thoughts whenever they occur, just think on something nice, like your beautiful daughter.

    Your both Mom and Dad now, she needs all of you, that is the whole 200%, because you have to give twice as much dedication, love and guidance.

    Alex, Thanks are no longer in place when it comes to you. You trully have touched my heart. Its hard when you think that everyone blames you. My mom always said a LADY is a white dress, one spot or stain on it and it makes the dress look dirty. That is how I have flt since January 27th 2006.ts hard to get over that and believe in yourself when everyoen you know and trusted tarnishes you. Alex, your wife was a great friend to me. I enjoyeed her company so very much. It really felt like family. I think even when she said “You may no longer be my Sister-In-Law” but we are still family that touched me so deeply. I felt trully loved by her. Things happen and are irreversible and I do not ever expect anything from her but what I do wish for is the TRUTH. Admittance to teh fact that what was doen was wrong and no one is to blame but the one person who has committed the act.

    When you are down to nothing as I have been I have thought many times on revenge. How my name was scandalized and how I in return could cause pain upon them or cause shame or some type of hurt and in the end my heart and mind set just was like “Let it go”. It is not up to me to intentionally hurt anyone because then I am just as bad. Instead just wait. My mom always said have patience, it does not come in with the snap of your finger or do not fight fire with fire. If you know you have doen nothing wrong then eventually all things will come to light.
    I have felt hurt so many times by this family it is incredible. The things that have been told to me Alex I wish upon no one because Suicide was almost a way out for me but then not being part of Isis’s life and not sharing her laughter would be a double hell sentence for me.
    I am so happy that I have been able to set my mind right and though I have lost alot I have gained something from Ricky that not even in death Shervin could ever take away from me.

    Sometimes their is no method to get over hurt, their is no guide. Talking about it helps but when you go back to your own world and your all alone your mind can go in many directions and it takes alot of mind setting to get out of that dark place. I am not trully our of my dark circle YET but I have come a long way and Isis grows I think that I grow with her. We share a bond that I trully believe that I am blessed beyond measure to have her in my life and share this world.

    Your blog has become an outlet as I have said before and I guess as it worked for you to get your opinions and life stories and experiences out, it has worked for me by getting certain things out that I would have never been able to share with anyone.

    As you stated, it is very difficult to get over the pain, but time does heal all wounds. Just use your lovely little daughter as your main reason for you to excel and build that life you always dreamed of.

    We spoke many times, and you always had great plans, but they kept getting shoot down, now is your chance to build on what you always wanted. You have a life to live, live it and enjoy every moment you have and make Isis a part of it.

    And as for that quiet little corner where you go back to and become sad, get rid of it. You don’t need no corners to hide in. You had a smile that showed joy and happiness even when you was sad. Use that same smile and be proud of what you’ve been through and survived. Many didn’t survive… that shows power and strength.

    Many of us can’t fit in your shoes, because we have no clue what it is to hurt so bad that you want to take your own life, but you had the will power to go on and survived, and it show that your life will get better.

    You do have a story to tell, and one day when Isis is grown, she will show you how much she loved you for being strong and always being there for her.
