Desire for
Revenge (a characteristic of underdeveloped minds)
The big
payback. Ever have someone do something
to you and you feel that you have to get them back?
You feel disrespected, embarrassed or even
violated. It won't make everything better,
but to have them experience what you felt will make you feel somewhat
better. You want to teach them a lesson
so that they think twice before crossing you the wrong way again.
The only thing is that the cycle never
ends. Revenge begets more revenge. It can be like a nasty energy that is passed
from person to person.
Also, if someone can't
take the revenge out on the main target, then they will take it out on someone
else that is weaker. This begins the
bully syndrome.
It takes up mental
energy that can be spent towards constructive activities that build you up and
help to move you forward. Revenge is
looking backwards.
This does not mean
taking whatever is dished to you, being weak and not protecting yourself. It means not being encompassed by the idea of
revenge at all times.
Some folks
intentionally hurt others and deserve to get whatever is coming to them. Most people may harm others, do not know it,
and would apologize and do whatever is necessary to rectify the situation.
Instead of jumping to conclusions,
communication may be helpful to divert negative emotions that can fester and
lead to improper reaction to the issue at hand.
This saves time, drama and is beneficial to continue to grow good
relationships.
Next, we will get intimate with the Desire for Sexual Contact...
