There are stories about revenge everywhere you look. It excites a lot of minds and feelings in people which can also cause them to suffer and loose their appetite. In fact, there is very little difference between love and revenge. A person constantly thinks about something, experiences very strong feelings for it. Sounds as if it is all about something that person likes a lot. The only difference is that one feeling is constructive and the other one - destructive. Let's talk about whether revenge is useful or harmful. Is it okay to take vengeance on somebody? Is it really necessary to do that? What means of revenge are acceptable and what are not?
What is revenge?
Revenge is pretty often compared with a disease. Indeed it can consume a person, turn them into a slave so they can think about nothing but that feeling.
Revenge is destructive. It makes people feel the most negative emotions that one can only think of. Revenge can be found in different types of people, in those who suffer from sickly and outrageously big egos, from intolerance towards other people, from inability to forgive. Of course there are exceptions and it is quite possible to make even a very kind person plan revenge. But if it happens pretty often that you want to hurt back, it is time to think about it.
Sometimes revenge can motivate a person to success in great accomplishments. Certain cases are known when people become prosperous, famous to spite their offenders.
Where does revenge come from?
There are plenty of reasons for revenge. It can be serious offenses, betrayals or a mockery. Though some people manage to take vengeance on others even without visible reasons. The desire to revenge usually follows unsatisfied people who are not self-confident either. For them it is another way to prove their importance to the world. Long suppression of a personality can cause all that. And now return suffering brings them pleasure.
Sometimes the cause for revenge can be envy. In this case it is very difficult to fight that feeling since objects of envy can change but a person stays where they were.
The most popular reason is jealousy. Revenge makes jealous people act in such a way that many innocent people suffer.
Some people try to fight that feeling, others care for it and bring it up.
It is necessary to say that in most cases there are no reasons for revenge except for those situations which happen pretty seldom in our lives.
Should we fight revenge or indulge it?
Everyone should make their own decision. First of all you should think if the offense or the caused problem is so big that it is worth spending your time and energy on it. It is very important to know what the outcome of your deed will be. Will you get satisfaction or will you have to suffer even more? Will you prove whatever you wanted to somebody? And will you make your offender repent?
If you look at the situation and the right answer to most of those questions is "No". In that case will you get desired satisfaction or will you imprison yourself in the whirlpool of revenge?
For the solution of any problem one can find other more effective ways rather than return punching. Sometimes a regular conversation or a simple ignorance of an irritating person can help to end a dispute and get rid of the desire for revenge.
If you are ready to revenge, what are the actions?
If you decided to fight back your offender be very cautious. Do not overdo anything that he or she did to you. If your neighbor makes you mad because she regularly floods your ceiling it doesn't mean you have to burn her apartment.
When choosing a way for your revenge you should not forget about the law. Sometimes people go too far and cause greater problems than they used to have before the revenge.
Your revenge should have a specific target. You should not take vengeance on everybody, and if you can not affect your offender maybe it is better just forget about it.
Think about how other people would see you. You should not be even less-minded, ruder and savager than your offender. Would you like to have such a reputation?
If you can not predict the result of your revenge it is better to postpone the realization of your idea or maybe just leave it for good.
The main rule of all intriguers is no hurry. Revenge is a cold dish so you have less chances to make a mistake.
It is better for an offended person to forget for a moment about the overwhelming emotions . Then it would be obvious that revenge is not the only way to deal with any situation. Revenge does not only make several people suffer but also humiliates that person who tries to scheme against somebody. Really strong people always find strength to forgive or simply ignore their offender.
