You know that if you punch that guy, it would be an escalation, right? He didn't punch you. He didn't even purposefully set his dog on yours. All he did was to not apologize and to act "smug."

So by assaulting him, you would not even be following the Old Testament dictate of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" - did you know that dictate was not written to encourage people to take revenge, but actually to stop them from escalating?

And Jesus said turn the other cheek, so why do you

go to church if you are wilfully planning revenge, thus flouting Jesus's teachings?

And I doubt you are going to stop at a punch. You've been nursing your anger for years. Please look up the Sunk Cost fallacy, which can be a psychological trap.

Please save yourself from this revenge fantasy. Read. Write. Pray.
