I believe that revenge doesn’t actually work, because revenge is a stimulant. I my perspective revenge is a stimulate because it only has short term effects. When you get even with someone at first you feel great, but then the consequence come. These consequences can either be very serious or just a minor punishment. Revenge is planning to get back at the person who hurt you and that is wrong. Revenge is also points out that to rights don’t make a wrong. Revenge also is not the best method because you hurt someone else’s feelings. So revenge for some people is the right way to go. But if they saw the effects of people such as Montresor and Fortunado they would see that revenge always ends up hurting both people in the end.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what jimmy said about revenge. its just a way to make your self feel better about your self. what happend to you might not be fair but not everything in life isnt always fair. so you just have to deal with it. when you get revenge on someone you feel like your so cool but afterwords you feel really bad about your self because often time when you get revenge its way out of line. like you would do something 10 times worse then what was done to you like killing someone. so revenge is pretty much pointless because it only leads to more trouble.
ReplyDeleteTo me, revenge seems like a drug. The first emotion you feel after your revenge is total happiness, almost like a high. Also like drugs, this "high" doesn't last forever. Sooner or later the relization of your actions come back to you probably causing you to reach an extreme low. In addition, revenge, if taken to an extreme, can control your life the same way drugs can. So, revenge really doesn't benefit you at all. It will make you feel real good at first but in the long run, all it does is harm you.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure who "JFord" is, but I agree with them. Revenge is like a drug. For the time being, it works and keeps you happy. After a while, it could back fire on you and just make you make an even bigger mistake. Revenge could be "addicting" in some way; because after a while, you could never actually sort out your problems, but instead just get revenge on the person. One step of revenge could lead to another, and after a while you might end up doing something you regret.
ReplyDeleteRevenge is a very addictive thing, usually if someone "gets" you, then you want to get them back.I believe revenge is very hard to avoid. When you get revenge on someone it's usually worse than what they did to you; and once you do something to them back the chain of revenge begins. The bad part is the things continue getting worse and more serious. It can sometimes get dangerous even if it's towards a friend thats the scary part. Also when you get revenge on someone you feel accomplished in a way. But really it's far from accomplished because then they get you back even worse, and then you get the back even worse then that. And thats how it gets more personal, more serious, and dangerous.
