The thing about it all is I feel like I have to be pushed and see true evil in order for my nasty side to come out or for me to have these nasty thoughts, I am naturally a loving person that tries to see good in people.
I have never been the guy who goes out of his way to pick fights or even get on the bad side of people but I feel like I have an innate duty to deliver punishment against such evil.
Even with the nasty people I encounter in life, I don't pick fights with them, they do with me and I feel like I need to do all that is legally possible to get even, I just cannot let it slide because it will keep me up at night. My thought process is today it is me, I am a grown man and I can take it. Tomorrow, it is a helpless kid or a damsel in distress, how can I live with myself knowing I let a demon walk?
I can take jokes and all that but schemes to ruin my life, insult me in front of a crowd, and purposefully humiliate me, such nasty actions and characters cannot be allowed to rise. The truth is such under-handed and scheming people make my blood boil but it makes my blood boil even more to not get even. I literally cannot live with myself if I did not get even.
Not sure what will come of my boss and me. If it ends up being that he stays in his lane and stays out of my way, I may as well drop it altogether while avoiding all future contact. On the other hand if he tries to use me as leverage to move ahead in the future or we cross paths again in our industry, I am going to do everything within legal means to deal with him and be merciless doing so.
