It's no surprise when almost half of the voters in the country voted for a man who's personal motto is "get even".
"Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe it."
"When you’re in business, you get even with people that screw you. And you screw them 15 times harder."

Same thing happened a second time because this person knew I wouldn’t react. I won’t let it happen again. Edit:: to be clear, I’m talking 7-figure screwed, not “this person was mean to me”.

There's a difference between not letting someone take advantage of you and spending significant time repaying every perceived slight 10 fold. Even iterative prisoners dilemma shows that without forgiveness a tit for tat strategy dissolves into an endless cycle of vengeance.
