Conundrum

[fbhjr]

Some interesting suggestions have come up in one of my other posts.
I could do something that has a high chance of making me feel much better
and a low chance of being discovered. But, if discovered would be
considered unforgivable.

Or, do something that would make me feel a very tiny bit better, by default
be known but probably only considered an annoyance. But, it would almost
certainly not get me anything to make me feel much better.

Finally, I could do nothing. I would not feel better at all. But, it
almost certainly wouldn’t cause any problem either.

[Poll #1892434]

The poll is, just to be clear, totally non-binding and I will probably do
something totally different.
But, I’m interested in what people think on this subject.

Personally...for me...I would consider the something "unforgivable" highly disrespectful and could potentially make matters worse and not better...and I'm thinking you're shooting for better...

I put my comment on the wording of the options, which i think is inherently biasing and thus invalidating as far as the poll goes, in the original F-locked post.

Something unforgivable? Is it going to hurt others you care about? It might not be worth it. Is there another way you could find that would make you feel better?

I was on the fence between the tiny, discoverable thing and not doing anything (or at least, not either of the other 2 choices).

I think that doing something unforgivable is usually never worth it on a number of levels. But, if the person(s) involved are to have any relationship with you in the future, the magnitude of an unforgivable act is too much to through out there, waiting for it to sink you. Did the captain of the Titanic want to through in extra icebergs in the ship's path? Unless it is a relationship you truly want to destroy (or finish off an already damaged one), I can see some temptation to do so - but generally these things never work out the way one plans, and you'll often regret it in the end. Take the High Road, is my generally philosophy, and just ignore the b&stards that annoy you and divert your energies into something more fun and constructive.

{Edit - I hadn't read your other post first.... Soooooo, if youare thinking of doing something with respect to that, I retract my comment about "b&stards" in its entirety and offer apologies for taking things out of context. But, I suppose, given what has transpired in the past, that it may still be better to leave well enough alone, rather than risk further heartache.}

You know that if the Titanic had rammed the iceberg head on it probably would not have sunk, right?

Or you could treat it like two separate problems where "you feeling better" and "other thing" are not contingent on each other.

To be fair, I would personally do the unforgivable in terms of revenge. I do tend to not suggest it though.

Revenge isn't what I'm after.
If I were after that, there would be a lot better ways to do it.
