I know you've thought about it, i know i have, but is revenge really a dish best served cold? is it that satisfying to seek vengeance against those who wronged us in some way no matter how small? Or is Vengeance the dish that should never be served because we really and truly know better?
From my experience revenge just leads to more problems, it can sometimes help to think about it, to help ease the pain as to how your gonna get your own back on someone who hurt you or humiliated you, but could we cross that line from fantasy/imagination straight into reality? i know most of us wouldn't ( the sane ones who have a conscience) but there are some who take revenge to the next level and make retaliation seem so awful and just down right disgusting.
An "eye for an eye" the famous quote from the bible and its counter argument "turn the other cheek" Jesus said, sometimes its necessary to to defend yourself against those who attack you physically and mentally but yh rising above petty squabbles can help reduce stress, headaches and migraines unless you get the person who is really asking for it and you deck em or give em a peace of your mind.
I had to learn from an early age to defend myself, i was a pacifist but not for long, i remember when i was 10 or a bit younger, the school kids in my primary school tied me up with skipping ropes and then placed one around my neck ready to strangle me, in that instance fearing for my life i ripped it off of me and then grasped the skipping ropes in one hand and whipped them with it, i had a bruise along my neck back then from when they tried to strangle me to death and these are just school kids, yes they don't know any better but if it wasn't for the fact i was a bit bigger than them and i fought them off, it could be a completely different story but even after the headmaster got involved they still complained to him that i whipped them with the skipping ropes, hellloooo, of course i did, you tried to strangle me that was all self defense, but was it? or was it revenge?
There's a fine line between self defense and revenge, the creedo all good people (super heroes, like superman, my favourite) tend to follow, you know the whole "Do No Harm" but when emotions come into play theres no telling what can really happen as they can in a way take us over. We all know the very popular saying "Hell hath No fury like a Woman Scorned" but really and truly Hell aint seen nothing yet when a man is scorned. When a true Alpha male finds out hes been cheated on, lord have mercy on the poor fool she cheated on him with, because he aint gonna be seeing straight for a while when 2 black eyes come his way
But honestly in my 23 years of living on this earth and ive had aloot of experiences, i always find that When you Seek the Destruction of Someone Else, You find you will Only destroy yourself. Believe me when i say that its so true but we all have to come to our own recognition as to whether vengeance is good or bad and where we draw the line between self defence and Revenge.
