Revenge: to exact punishment or expiation for a wrong on behalf of, esp. in a resentful or vindictive spirit.
When is revenge ever justified?
Is it morally wrong to seek bad on those who directed towards you first?
Emotions are a reaction, an answer, a reciprocation. A feeling cannot spring without a root in which it grows out from. For instance, to be happy is caused by happiness; to be angry is caused by anger. When one is stirred with such emotions, one gives off an ora of the same emotion. Hence, the saying: what goes around, comes around. It truly is a beautiful thing. Why? Because it’s nothing but the truth. When one causes another to be angry, the outcome prevails. Even so, by flaunting the glory of “karma,” is to bring about the sweetest revenge. Negativity will only bring about negativity.
It only makes sense.
When one avenges because of humiliation, agony, or other malignant beliefs… the outcome will equal. Revenge is a man-made conclusion, and of course, nothing made from the imperfect can be perfect.
A situation should not be concluded from a personal perspective, but from an omniscient point of view. Emotions hinder all aspects of life and coat a paint of prejudice on top of agony on top of acrimony.
However, in some situations revenge is not only justified, but demanded. (I’m sure one has enough common sense to know when the rules become pliable enough.) Regardless, most examples do not reach the level where revenge is vital.
Living and learning or forgiving and forgetting was, is, and should always be the best way to cope with the outcomes that do not please.
As Gandhi once said, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.” The regret is unconditional and irrevocable.
