Live Happier By Not Taking Anything Personally (and getting revenge)

I've learned in life it's important to not take things personally.  People will say things to you, do things to you, and target you in certain situations, and it's easy to feel beaten up and insulted.  You can wonder why someone is singling you out.  What I've learned though is that people that are jerks are usually jerks to many people.  Humans don't behave badly in a bubble.  Bad people are usually bad with lots of people.  By not taking things personally and realizing that jerks are just jerks treating everyone they meet badly, it is easier to get over it and not feel insulted.  And oh yeah, while it's important to forgive people, getting revenge on them feels pretty good too.
