Why We Should Not Take Vengeance Using Our Own Hands
Taking vengeance is contaminating yourself with the same evil that you so strongly detested in the first place.
When God asked us to forgive those who sinned against us, it is not to withhold justice or to deprive us of the restitution we deserved. It is but to let us leave these matters into His hands, who alone can take vengeance without contaminating Himself with the very evil being punished.
There is a law of justice which we could never escape. Let us trust that God will accomplish this without fail. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.
Find hope in your darkest hour.

I’ve read a lot about forgiveness, for the sake of regaining balance in life. I think I can forgive, but if the offence is of the extreme I won’t tell the offender I’ve forgiven him or her. As a matter of fact I won’t tell anyone. It’s for me only. To help me and the persons I love, who’d want to see me happy and filled with personal strength and inner peace again. Who’d want me concentrate on kindness and love, rather than passing around bad energy.
