Betrayals create unexpected allies.

That alone has been a surprising side effect of recent revelations.

[Grievous is on screen, in his human form. He seems thoughtful although there is an underlying anger to his next words.]

I would assume that vengeance is frowned upon in this world. At least, the kind that creates a balance in the severity of the crimes committed.

So what do you do? What have you done?

When somebody has betrayed your trust, used you for their own ends and set you up for eventual failure, ruining both your reputation and your life...

What would you do to rectify the situation and be at peace?

Learn from it. [ says the person who never learns ]

I thought for a long time seeking revenge and doing something against those who have wronged me and mine would bring me peace and would create balance.

To this day, it hasn't. So I wonder if it's even effective.

Learn to be more cautious? To never trust?

[ Video ]

[ghoulking]

Caution is always necessary.

but by learning I mean, learn how to live from that. And learn how to live with that.

I'd live my best life, just out of spite.

Because clearly they were out to screw that up.

[generalgrievous]

How can anyone have a 'best' life here? Especially knowing that a fitting punishment hasn't been dealt.

Well like... okay; Dooku wanted to use you because you were a strong fighter, right?

So do the opposite. I'm not saying drop fighting entirely, but like... I dunno, pick up crocheting for a hobby. Donate your time to charity. Find something that could be fun to do that is so completely separate from what Dooku wanted and just keep doing it out of spite.

Ruin them back. Or kill them.

[generalgrievous]

You would do that here?

If it came down to it.

Revenge is nothing more than pointless self-destruction. It does not bring satisfaction.

Seek justice, but do not engage in injustice to reach it. Find what remains of yourself, and piece it back together. Create a new reputation. A new life, without them.

As for peace... I'm told that comes with time.

Justice of a sort has already been set upon him, just not for the past misdeeds. That is perhaps all we can ask for here at this point of the legitimate systems.

I aim to complete myself once more. Then I will be strong again and can make a more constructive decision.

[dragony]

A more constructive decision? An outlook like that, it sounds like you're already dissatisfied. Or rather, committed to remaining dissatisfied.

Work with them, befriend them if possible. Build back up that stable support system and allow them to believe that you moved forward.

A friend is always easier to exploit and destroy than an enemy ever will be. It's a long game but a fun one.

Vengeance is only frowned upon by people unable to achieve it.

[generalgrievous]

We will never be friends, falsely or otherwise.

Then I suppose straight up revenge is your best option. Unless you are, for some reason, doubting this course.

[canonized_demon]

I find a .50 caliber round to the brain gets my vengeance across in a pretty satisfying way.

[generalgrievous]

Unfortunately, such things are not so simple here.

[canonized_demon]

Oh, another ImPort yeah? Well, I've got sort of a background in revenge. If you wanna meet, I could throw some ideas your way.

Vengeance is frowned upon in most worlds.
Nothing can be fixed with retaliation.
A level headed is always encouraged.
Betrayal is always a touchy matter and hard to work around, but it's possible.
It depends on what you seek to learn from all this.

[Video] Not private since he can't use that while on probation

[generalgrievous]

The only thing I seek it to find my whole and true self again.

[purmatext]

[ashla]

[That should have just been Text / fulcrum anyhow lol]

Was vengeance part of your true self before?

[private, anonymous text]

[applewatcher]

If the desire for revenge is sincere, a prayer to the Night Mother will bring their end.

[text] But he can't respond anon due to probation restraints

[generalgrievous]

Are you of the Night Sisters?

[applewatcher]

I am not. I am one of the Dark Brotherhood. Complete the Black Sacrament, and our Mother will hear. She will send one of her children to seal the contract.

If you wish to discuss this privately, we have means to do so.

I don't envy your situation. I don't think I would ever be satisfied with peace, if I were in your situation.
