There is a quote that says something like, “Never take revenge. The rotten fruit will destroy themselves.”
And honestly? That might be the most peaceful petty advice ever given.
Because here is the truth no one likes to admit out loud. You do not need to clap back, plot, scheme, expose, or “just wait until they see.” You do not need to match energy, lower yourself, or write that paragraph you have already rewritten twelve times in your notes app.
Why?
Because people who move foul already live in their own consequences.
They wake up in them.
They date them.
They repeat them.
They become them.
That is not karma being slow. That is karma being thorough.
Revenge feels tempting when you are hurt. It feels justified when you were wronged. It feels earned when you were disrespected. But revenge keeps you emotionally tied to someone who already showed you they are not worth the attachment. You end up babysitting their mess instead of building your peace.
Meanwhile, rotten fruit does exactly what rotten fruit does. It smells. It attracts flies. It collapses under its own decay. No assistance required.
The most savage thing you can do is nothing.
No reaction.
No explanation.
No closure speech.
No “let me clear the air.”
Just distance and growth.
Because nothing humbles a person faster than realizing they no longer matter enough to provoke a response. Silence hits harder than insults. Peace irritates people who thrive on chaos. And watching you move on unbothered? That is the plot twist they did not plan for.
So let life handle it. Life has receipts. Life has patience. Life does not miss.
You keep your hands clean.
You keep your energy high.
And you let rotten fruit finish the job it started.
No revenge needed. 🍎
