I think at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself if your thoughts and actions are making your life better or worse. I think those questions become more critical and difficult the more people you have to be responsible for besides just yourself because there can be a sort of comfort and pleasure in having vengeful thoughts if you're only responsible for yourself.
Say you find yourself in a leadership position though and responsible not just for yourself but others who trust and follow you. Then try to ask if the way you think and act is good not just for yourself but those people who trust and follow you, and then I think you will find more clearly that vengeful thoughts and actions are quite counter-productive far more often than not. It might be romantic to fight to the very last breath in a blaze of glory when you're only responsible for yourself, but it becomes an ill-suited trait for most leaders. You find yourself in a leadership position and you start to learn, if only the hardest way, to pick your battles and discipline yourself.
