Took me a long time to get there. a part of me still hopes they get a taste of their own medicine but I realize it won't happen.

Even if they have lied, cheated, BS'd through their whole life without retaliation, I still think they "got theirs". You know why? They lived a lie. They have never truly loved, and thus they have missed out on one of the best things in life.

To me, an unfulfilled life is the ultimate revenge.
Yeah, that's a smart way to look at it.

It's not healthy to sit around wishing revenge on them. The real victory comes when you forgive and forget.
I know, but it's hard not to!

I know - but when you do that - then they are essentially "winning." If you get my drift. Don't let others hold that kind of power of you. It's hard - but it's one of the keys to happiness.

No, I don't believe karma always comes back around. Some people get theirs and some people don't.

How do you know? The laws of nature. Dishonesty isn't limited to their relationships.

They have an excess of bad karma, so, it'll take some time for it to catch up.

This. Leona Helmsley lived to be 87. She is one of America's most repulsive businesspeople. She coined the phrase "taxes are for the little people." She did a minimum amount of jail time, but returned to her obscenely wealthy lifestyle.

Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake" comment cost her her head, and is a national holiday.
