Be careful of overcorrecting. The solution is not becoming the opposite of whatever led to your suffering or terror, but finding the balance (optimal ratio) between your innate disposition, and its opposite so you can synthesise (integrate) each into a greater, more transcendent whole.

Overcorrecting is normal - a type of revenge - the exploited wanting to exploit - the powerless wanting to be powerful.

Violence of the soul is always inversion, but inversion is not sustainable, nor even remotely close to perfect, ideal or desirable.

It is you proving to yourself that, you can in fact be the agent rather than the acted upon, the imposer of will rather than the imposed upon - the conqueror instead of the victim.

And maybe you need to prove something to yourself.

But that being said, it is not the endpoint. In the same way resentment for one's suffering and pain is entirely normal and natural as a transitionary phase, but an endemic sign of a deficit of character as an enduring orientation or endpoint.
