Revenge


When someone won’t let go is it because they love you that much or hate you that much or is it both?  I have asked myself this question of late because I know that revenge is sweet for some but in the final analysis it is an empty proposition. It serves no other purpose but the perceived hurt on the one that hurt you. What does that accomplish beyond the gratification if you can call it that in the here and now?  I guess I don’t know the answer not because I am so wonderful but I never considered revenge as a useful tool to provide some sort of visceral satisfaction. I suppose the revenge seeker must know the heart and mind of the one they are seeking ‘justice’ from.  And does it really make you feel good getting revenge? Again I can’t answer this query either because at least for me I will feel even worse than the hurt I caused someone.  Some say revenge is sweet I say it is still the bitterness that remains.    This bears more thought and if it comes to mind I will add to this conundrum.

  1. Some people call it retributive justice . Perhaps to justify their behavior. There are some things in life you just must ignore. Toughen up kiddo. You have many more admirers than foes. Be thankful for that. AND TRY TO LOVE YOURSELF MORE. I promise if you do you won't be hurt as easily.
