The ones you call evil or dishonorable, has inherited their part in the world just as much as you have. From the innocent ones - too poor or abused to afford charity, or perhaps even born socially challenged - to the ones who choose not to partake in social bonding and cooperation: They inherited this right from their birth, and deserves no shame or blame for their existence.
The thing you call "good" is created out of fooling oneself into believing that one way of life should dominate other ways of life. This kind of thinking is far more destructive than selfishness, as "good" leads to neverending enslavement and torture of millions of people for the sake of a single persons delusions.
...so you see, there is no point in vengeance. If you want to prevent something from happening again, prepare to defend yourself. If you don't, you won't deserve to be safe the next time either.
...and the ones who do you harm, treat them with respect, because they have taught you valuable lessons of defeat, and inspired the motivation to train yourself. Indeed, they are not only your teachers, but also your parents.
Go forth, with love.
