Hell Girl
I've been rather selective with what TV and Anime series that I choose to watch since I entered Uni, as they can get rather addictive and I end up wasting time chasing after episodes after episodes. This explain why I'm very unwilling to start watching Prison Break, Lost, and Heroes, as following after Desperate Housewives is time wasting enough already.
As for anime, I've stopped watching Bleach for the time being due to its excessive fillers. However, I'm hooked on Hell Girl lately. Well, it's something nice to watch while ironing anyway.
Anyway, Hell Girl (the title character) is basically a Girl from Hell (Duh) who exact vengence for you. To use her service, access the hell website at midnight (only accessible at midnight) and key in the name of the person you wish her to issue vengence on. She will appear before you and give u a straw doll, with a red string around the neck. If you choose to exact revenge on that person, pull the red string, and she and her assistance will give the person hell and bring him/her to hell (literally) immediately. However, for using this service, you will be sent to hell as well after you die. Your chest will have a hole as a mark of the contract.
Each episodes explores the client and what caused the client to want to exact revenge on someone, to the point that they are willing to go to hell for it. It seems like Hell Girl will not suka-suka take revenge for you - if you simply want to kill that person for no reason, she will not appear before you to give you the straw doll. As each episode progresses, we begin to understand why people are willing to go to hell to take revenge - a girl who has been stalked to the point that her stalker attacked her father, a young girl who has been backstabbed and ostracised by her best friend, a young girl (again) wanting to stop her mother from being bullied by her neighbour, a man whose wife has been raped and murdered by his best friend, an orphan whose only family member left, a dog, died simply because the vet chose to gossip rather than save the dog etc.
This thought struck me - these people are in trouble, and those being revenged upon deserve to go to hell. Why should the victims be punished to hell as well?
Well, to put it in Buddhist logic, if you are being harmed by someone, it is simply becuase you've harmed that person in your previous life. Because he has harmed you in this life, you will end up harming him in your next life - and the karma cycle goes on. Exacting vengence by taking someone's life, regardless of the motivation, is still taking someone's life, and has much consequences to your karma and merits.
The only way to end this cycle, is love and forgiveness, where one decides to forgive and forget, and give up the desire to strike back. Only this way can this cycle of suffering break.

To my friend, who has been two-faced by that person recently, who suffered the same injury as I did last year - I say forget it. "Let the evil punish themselves", says the late Princess Mother of Thailand. There is no need to dig out anything - he will suffer from all the evils he has done eventually. Everyone has their peak and their falls - just because he's at his peak now doesn't mean he wouldn't fall. I doubt he will fall if you dig out anything now - but when he falls, he will fall real hard, and it's because of his own actions. Let him punish himself.
And he's standing on the peak now simply because of all the dirt he has swept under the carpet. It will only collapse one day for him to be hurt real hard.
Those who did evil on others, will suffer from it eventually. Probably we're simply paying back for some sins we've done upon him in our previous lifes. And the way to end this cycle, is simply for us to forgive. Though I have yet to forgive him for what he has done to my kid, I'm still restraining myself from trying to create his fall.
I hope you stay. If not, there will be one less person to protect them, fight for them and cushion them from his evils. He has already affected so many of them, if you don't stay to cushion more in the future, how are they going to go on?
