Mindy Kaling in her book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" expresses her dissent with common sayings regarding revenge. Traditionally, many suggest that living well is the best form of retribution against those who have wronged you. Kaling, however, offers a starkly different perspective on this idea.

She provocatively states that rather than merely living well, a more impactful method of revenge would be something extreme, like throwing acid in someone's face. This statement emphasizes her dark humor and suggests that she values a more dramatic form of retribution than what is typically encouraged.
