No, I haven't. I just remember more stuff and a lot of details. People might think that I am wasting my time remembering excessive details but it helps me build a better understanding of the world in general.

If I get into the philosophical point of view two months are not always considered a lot of time by most people. It really depends on the context.

I am most definitely not holding grudges since I am not emotionally invested with you. You are just one of the curiosities I met when I came into this forum. A curiosity because the perception I was trying to project was very different from what you received so I wanted to know and understand the cause of the distortion. Not everyone needs to be holding grudges to remember past events. Some people are different than you.

Anyway, it is really odd for me when people say that wanting revenge and holding a grudge is a very bad thing to do. At what point does revenge become justice and justice becomes revenge. One of the main differences is that justice is rational, revenge is emotional. But when you are both emotional and rational what is it called or is the general understanding that emotions don't co-exist with logic? In my opinion, justice and revenge are the same thing with different labels which only serves to segregate the slightly different outcomes. Justice - do smth bad on someone bad to establish order into a society, revenge - do smth bad on someone bad to establish order into to your own personal life. But because you can do the latter without exactly resorting to revenge then revenge all of a sudden becomes a bad thing and justice a good thing. Many structures of society are just silly. "Justice can do what revenge does but revenge can't do what justice does" is probably what people think because justice is a slightly more complicated structure that originates from revenge and requires the participation of more people but actually this is not really true in all cases. Regardless of how justice is perceived if you think that revenge is inherently bad or a wrong thing to do then you are indirectly saying that justice is wrong. A lot of people will not go to court if feelings of resentment and hatred were not driving their actions. They want revenge and people just paint it with the fancy word justice and make people associate the good type of revenge with the one which involves society. But if you dare to presume that you know better than society then you are one step away from "receiving justice" for disrupting the established order. This only encourages follower behaviour and as a result, it is common for people to not think with their own heads.
