Psalm 7 - NIV
Psalm 7:16
16 The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head.~~~
I'm not saying that everyone loves creating trouble, though some do. But times again we create trouble, unconsciously and without meaning to. Sometimes out of anger, sometimes out of rebellion. Whether you deny or not, i'm quite sure that somewhere during your lifetime, you did create trouble, whether small or big, whether you admit it or not.
But is it worth creating trouble, to get others angry, to create unhappiness so that you may get glee out of it?! When you create trouble for others, if you think back, you'll realised that you'll usually end up getting yourself in trouble too. Even if you manage to escape it, you'll still get it back when judgment Day comes. For I believe and know that judgment Day will come and we will all be judged and questioned for our actions. We will be held responsible for what we did.
I agree that many times we are not prudent, we do not think before we act. Sigh... I also fall heavily into this category. Out of anger, just to make that person angry (coz he made me angry and I want revenge...), out of rebellion (dont feel like obeying...), I thus try to create trouble for others that I may get "joy" (more like glee though). But usually I dont really end up happy either.
Maybe u disagree with me and think that this passage is nonsense. But this verse is very true in the real world. When gangsters go about fighting, bullying and getting others into trouble, they face lots of troubles too. When they bully/fight someone from another gang, they soon find themselves into another fight...
Violence is not the way to solve things. Take war for example, did it solve things? Were people happy? Did they gain what they want (those who started war)? They end up with more violence. Things could be talked out... except for the issue of conquering... but we should try to maintain good relationships with others and not go round looking for trouble but stay in peace, and make friends instead of enemies.

A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
