In German, we have a saying that translates like, "revenge is sweet". George Orwell, wrote in 1945 an essay called "revenge is sour". I understand that revenge can feel satisfying for the moment, but it can never really be sweet as it is causing others Dukkha. I can see that to some people who have been mean to me in the past, I am hesitant with my Lovingkindness. What do you think? I am hesitant with my Lovingkindness which is also a bit of revenge, right?
