When you are the victim of deliberate cruelty or deceit, you wish to lash out. This is understandable. The human is programmed to fight fire with fire. If you are able to take a moment and breathe, you will see that anger solves nothing. Reacting in kind does no good and harms only the self. Breathe deeply. Send healing energy to those who have been harmed, including yourself, and send only compassion to those who are so blind to their true nature that they would commit less than loving acts. You are not condoning their acts, and most importantly, you are not facilitating the continuation of lower vibrations. Instead of fuel to a fire, you have applied water to it and a healing balm to your wounds. Your love may not have a noticeable effect on others, but oh, what it does to your own soul!
