People seriously underestimate how long I have waited for opportunities to ruin lives and how viciously I will happily act on grudges from even decades ago.
They don't take undue headspace. That's how you let yourself get consumed by hatred. Such feelings are like a supernova that burn themselves out uselessly.
No, the way to do it is to calmly commit the event to memory. File it away neatly. Keep a list.
Then when you get the chance, when the opportunity is there to deal the most damage - you act on it. Without moral reasoning, without internal reflection, without hesitation. Like a spy who's lived an ordinary life for twenty years suddenly hearing his trigger phrase and snapping into programming.
Sometimes it causes remorse later, but on the whole I find it's worth it to ensure that anyone who has done something sufficiently displeasing, no matter how long ago it was or how much distance they put between themselves and the action, or how much they develop and change, can ever truly rest.
