Revenge is powerful. We’re taught to abandon it. Yet it’s readily and abusively used by those with excess. Bucketlist dares: Does revenge have any place in humble lives?
Gochujang Broth is absolutely tastier than the best revenge.
Kindness is often confused with weakness. Revenge is made evil though it’s simply an action taken in return for an injury or offense. A valuable teaching tool, if you’ve the stomach for it.
Gochujang, an ancient fermented Korean red pepper paste, was originally medicinal for weak stomachs. Gut friendly, it’s a spicy sweet healing balance of revenge and kindness.
Bucketlist true story: We’ve a friend who consistently needs practical support. We happily assist. Opportunities for our friend to reciprocate are limited as we don’t ask for anything. Except once.
Thick in the development of Bucketlist we needed a keyboard. Bucketlist is all original music. Our friend doesn’t play but has a keyboard packed away. We asked to borrow it. The response was, “No, I am thinking about possibly starting online lessons.” Ouch.
Disappointing. Shocking. The next day our friend needed a ride 1-hour away. Bucketlist Lifehack™: Even Jesus said no.
Bucketlist confession: I appreciate revenge. I just don’t believe it has to be extreme, ongoing, or harmful. There’s a soul sweet spot between expressing not cool and busting kneecaps. It’s a personal healing thang.
There’s a sweet soul spot between expressing not cool and busting kneecaps.
We removed one bonus-blessing we’d given. Nothing long drawn. Nothing they can’t do without. Nothing we spent days or weeks plotting. Nothing we’ll need to spend days or weeks to continue. An easy-peezy wham-bam-no-extra-cookie-for-you. Satisfaction.
Gochujang Broth is absolutely tastier than the best revenge. Death-Free™, E-Z P-Z and healing, it’s worth building a spice tolerance. Bucketlist Soulhack™: We’re taught to be martyrs, but there’s nothing wrong with refusing to be taken advantage of. Kindness is not a weakness. Right wrongs without permanent harm. Nothing’s worth darkening your soul.
Bon appétit, Friends.
