I understand the thought process, and if you can’t stop thinking about your oppressors then sure, do better to spite them, but maturity would be to find value and confidence where you are. To take your focus off those who oppress you, and be content without their so called ‘success’. For some, success is just having peace and freedom, for others, it’s chaos.

You bet.

As I said in another comment, this is more to supplement or discuss the other, much higher voted post here for those people who see merit in it, without being outright confrontational or "critical" to it or them. I also tend to think you are right though, in terms of that I personally don't find the underlying idea helpful either. I think revenge is kinda petty generally. But if you (i.e. others) don't, then at least make sure you know not everyone gets the same ability to have this kind of "best revenge" and you shouldn't implicitly hold that against them, either.
