To think revenge isn't a dish best served cold?

[Allthenamesiwantaretaken]

Reading about the Huhne/Pryce case this morning and all I could think was this outcome is just not in the best interests of the children. It's just really sad. Chris was obviously the worlds worst husband and what he did was wrong (both the affair and the points). This situation however with two very intelligent parents at each other throats so publicly and the texts being paraded in the public domain has left 1) the father likely to go to jail 2) the mother publicly using the media to finish the father's career 3) the private texts of his son who's pain is palpable for all to see. Do you think tonight Victoria Pryce is happy with the outcome? I'm not criticizing her but I just can't imagine this outcome actually easing her pain at the end of her marriage.

This particular dish of revenge is not being served cold. It's being served lava hot, straight from the fires of hell. I agree with you - I feel for the poor child in the middle of this. I'm having real trouble feeling anything but contempt for Mr Huhne though.

I've never understood 'revenge is a dish best served cold' TBH. Surely the only logical time is when you're really pissed off about it. If you're still harping on about it years down the line, you are probably a bitter individual who has spoiled your own life by your refusal to move on. The best revenge is always a life well lived.

Yes you are both right, I just wondered if I was a bit wierd feeling like the whole thing is one big sad (and avoidable) mess.

"hat keepingcalm said.

Personally i think people who harbor a grudge for long enough for it to be considered 'cold' perhaps need some help to move on.

In this case they are both as bad as each other. I can't understand what either of them were thinking.
