I thought many times of getting revenge on my ex. I decided that ghosting her and not responding to her emails, texts, phone calls, messages to sisters Facebook was actually the best possible revenge. Silence is golden. And that hurts women the most. Because any kind of reaction, other than silence, will give her power.

Not having debt might be up there with one of the best forms of revenge.

Having debt is not good

Not sure if just a simple life of living alone, eating healthy, exercising and staying in shape, keeping your spending low to reach financial independence/early retirement count as living well

It does not count as living well, but, here comes the important thing, it enables you to do so.

Treating yourself well is the best revenge on other people, because other people like seeing you being miserable.

Here's an example, just randomly sampled from my life: I was at a marriage party one month ago. Dude from like 15 years ago asked me how I was and I just said "it's okay" (I wear 5 yo used jeans and even older shoes, yes even to a marriage party). I saw it glimmering in his eyes as he probably thought he had surpassed me or whatever, before he began a monologue about how nice his shitty mid level executive job is and that his boss liked his pp presentation and what not and how he is going to marry and how his life is all great and that, he is just awating the bank to allow the credit. His soon-to-be wife finally asked me what I do and I just shortly said, "oh, this and that, working remotely 25 hrs a week, decently paid programming job, can do whatever I want to do, tomorrow I might drive into the mountais for a week to enjoy myself and work a bit from there". The glimmering in his eyes vanished. I walked away.

Try to be happy on the inside and be kind to yourself, the revenge is just a little part in it. And even if there is no revenge, treating yourself kindly is one of the hardest things but also the one most fulfilling and rewarding thing you ever can do to yourself.

And, as Schopenhauer says:

"It is most difficult to find content inside yourself, but it is impossible to find elsewhere."

Living well isn’t revenge as much as you no longer focusing on toxic people. If you let that shit go then you can be happy in your own life.

Live life for you and not other people.

I dont understand how Karma not acting on someone else, would make you miserable. Don't you base your happiness on something internal or related to you.. Not on the state of life of someone else?
