What are some LEGAL ways to get revenge on someone who has screwed you over?

If you live your live seeking revenge, you'll never understand why you are being "wronged" to begin with.

i understand that, but this only counts for living your entire life seeking revenge for someone you'll never find, and know you have no chances of ever getting revenge on. if you can't get revenge, there is no bother trying. if you CAN get revenge however you should, imagine if nobody was put in prison just because the court decided to just "let it go", no, we punish them for a reason, it's because they deserve it.

You cannot put out a fire with more fire. You can only put it out with water.

you actually can put out fire with fire, by starting a fire from the opposite end you can effectivily choke the fire where they'll meet, firefighters use this technuique most commonly when putting out forest fires, if nothing else works. it's not an easy thing to pull off though, and if it isn't done right, will just spread the fire further, so it's nothing i recommend.

It is the law of karma, the law of cycles. What goes around comes around. If someone has no problem screwing you over, they will receive that back unto themselves ten fold.

karma isn't real. if someone deserves it, you deal it to them yourself.

OP never once described what the wrong was. He never described the situation. So what you're saying, without any knowledge of the situtation, is that it's okay to ruin someones life because they've "wronged" you.

I'm positive OP isn't a complete idiot and would actually figure out if whoever "wronged" him didn't do it on purpose or otherwise being innocent.

It's never okay to ruin someones life.

You're right, we should just let shitholes wander around ruining our lives instead, i thought you said they will get back whats comming to them? so we'll be getting them back, you ruin my life, i ruin your life, ten times worse.
