Does it make me a coward to walk away and move on when I've been wronged by people?

I could get revenge on them all, but I'm so tired. They deserve it and I have what I need to teach them a lesson messing with the wrong person; I want to get revenge and then start fresh leaving them in the trash where they belong...but idk why im hesitating. I just feel wrong inside thinking of what I'm going to do but I cant just let them get away with what they did to me. Part of me wants to stand up for myself and make them regret messing with me but the other part thinks me walking away, building my peace again, and showing they don't affect me is more effective

2 wrongs don't make a right. That phrase exists for a reason. You can convince yourself this will make you feel better by getting revenge which I have no idea what your situation is and I won't assume like I know anything about it because I don't but if I were you if it's not currently effecting you now I would just walk away and move on

@GhangisKhan it doesnt affect me now like it did in the beginning, every now and then I'll remember what happened and feel angry then i try not to think about it and move on. I want to move on but I just worry Ill always look back and regret doing nothing, like I'll feel angry I didnt do more to defend myself to them in a few months when i look back to this
