Happy people don't plot how to exact revenge on exes of over four years ago. I also don't think people are inherently evil any more than I think people are inherently good. Every person has the capacity for good and evil, simply put.
Also, what does causing others discomfort accomplish? What's the purpose? What's the outcome? What's the use?
