A taste of their own medicine

Giving people a taste of their own medicine is hilarious to me sometimes.  It could literally be five minutes after they gave you a taste of the medicine... you can turn around and give that taste right back, and they don't like it.  Not one little bit.  I wonder if this is an instance of disarming and infuriating with the mirror effect.  It is certainly infuriating to passive aggressive warriors when their own infuriating actions are mirrored.  It's almost as though they have robotics hooked up to them mentally... the way they so automatically respond in an equal fashion. 

I'm still attempting to clarify my thoughts, and savoring the bitter sweetness of making the other side taste their own medicine right in this very moment.  Not that there is any victory in the small reflections during the day... however, there is the lesson to be learned by observing the B.S. on the other side. 

You have to make it through the bad situations sometimes to get to the good ones, and to even know what the good ones are.  Sometimes, you have to learn the way.  Sometimes, you have to endure dealing with a less than ideal situation before you are blessed with the ideal situation.  In fact, sometimes you have to experience the burn of living through the less-than-ideal situation to gain the motivation to put yourself in an ideal situation.  Facing the daily tribulations of slavery, for instance, can inspire you to leap to freedom.  If you're in a situation that is constantly pissing you off,

Sometimes, you can make a mistake in a relationship, business, personal or otherwise.  That mistake can be to misread the other person.  Some people do not take very kindly to insults and being threatened.  The emotional types in this world will say all sorts of crazy things in the moment, make all sorts of threats, basically make statements that are completely conflicting with the notion that this person is in it for the long haul.  When someone behaves in this way, the best way to deal with them is to get ultra-deceptive and manipulative.  Smile in their face; lie, cheat, do whatever underhanded method is necessary to make sure that you are standing on your own two feet.  These types of people thrive on emotional situations and creating the negative, ugly conflicts that inspire these emotional situations. 

The best ultimate way to truly gain revenge on these types is to win with action, just as it is with anything else.  The difficulty on winning through action is that to do so means to swallow the rage that is likely causing you to want to succeed so badly in the first place.  For instance, if someone taunts you that you have no life because all you do is work, then that may sting in the moment, because it is true that you don't have a life, at least not in comparison to the standard, 9-5 worker who makes $XX,XXX.XX per year.  The desire to really give these types of big-mouthed self-aggrandizing blowhards is intense because it is people like this who do so much damage to the genius behind the scenes, yet want to simultaneously say "yes, I supported him."

They forget their words.  They forget their treacherous, unsupportive actions.
