Part 4 - Desire for Revenge


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...
