Revenge, sort of. 24 unchanging

[lucuma]

Someone hurt me. It's the same person I've been romantically envolved with, though briefly, during last year. The young man who plays bass in the band... we were supposed to be friends. He said he was going to do one thing, then did another, hurtful, and unexpected. He has a record of being fickle in his exchanges with me, and I don't stand it anymore. Plus, I feel he has not respect for me whatsoever now. I've always shown care and friendship to him, to no avail. Thus I'd like to get even, because I'm hurt. Could 24.0 be saying that I should pay no attention to such matter and focus on myself? That I should 'close' and recover my center? Or maybe that if I eventually try to get revenge, it will all come back against me? This matter is not of vital importance, but it'd be nice to recover some dignity and to make limits clear.
Thanks for any inputs.
EDIT: Edited for better phrasing.

Hi Lucuma
24 speaks of a sense of allowing a new beginning to unfold and a returning of what you have lost following a difficult time (23 Stripping). It calls out to the opportunity for renewal of the simple and uncomplicated aspects of being that have been stripped from your world. In the Image it advocates that you stay behind closed gates; that you do not make unnecessary journeys or that you did not dwell on or inspect too deeply the circumstances that have brought you to your current state of hurt.

Good Luck

The best way to recover your dignity is to Return to yourself.
This is a Turning Point (also Hex 24) for you to return to your dignity.
Don't give a person the chance to Reject you twice.

Agree with ontheroad, to recover don't give him the time of day, move on and live your life. Do not try to get revenge because instead, you can use that valuable time for yourself instead of on him.

Lucuma, what was your question? You didn't say.

Thanks my_key, ontheroad and jp78 for your inputs.

Liselle, my question was "How to get even?" in the sense that I wanted to return to him some of the emotional damage he has inflicted on me.

Ha! I'm tempted to say "Bide your time till Spring ." But of course it's more likely what everyone else said, don't be hasty, give your own self time to recover and so on. Revenge might become less important.
