Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.

Regardless of what the possibly real / possibly mythological Gods opinion is, when we humans want revenge, what are the top five preferred methods? And yes what is being avenged surely can, does, and should determine the vengeance. Though not always. Personally I'm not real big on vengeance. At least I don't like to think so. My vengeance more often than not just takes the form of passivity. But even passivity can be action in and of itself. It's still a response.

Say for instance ( a boss ) or someone, anyone, draws lines and makes most interaction seem compulsory. FAKE!!! Smile when you don't want to. Pretend you don't hate their guts. Etc... I tend to just avoid interaction as much as possible unless it's just completely unavoidable. Then it's "strictly business." I didnt make the rules or draw the lines in the sand. A abhor certain people that have major issues with power and control over others. I tend to give people chance after chance after chance to redeem themselves. And over and over I am reminded that certain people continue to behave the same way they always have. Then they are friendly to your face. Then they fuck you. Over and over and over again. The vengeance I take in this / these cases is simply putting them in their little box that theyve created for themselves and trying not to pay to much attention to them unless I'm forced to. If that's a form of vengeance at all. To continue to smile with a real smile regardless. To find happiness despite rediculous overbearing lameness. Happiness truly is the best revenge. Too bad the person / persons in question can't find their own happiness and quit fucking with others. Fucking with others is apparently their source of happiness.

So I guess happiness is the best revenge.

I can't think of four other things at the moment. : )
