Council turned up at my place to dig a dirt moat and chop down beloved trees. But I got my revenge
Full story
Psychologists have previously suggested that revenge carries a bittersweet feeling. The author found this theory to be incorrect. Instead, they describe the experience as purely sweet. This feeling came after the local council dug a dirt moat and cut down trees the author loved. The author eventually achieved their own revenge against the council.
Psychologists have long sold us the ‘bittersweet’ theory of revenge – turns out it’s just sweet.
