Is revenge useful

Answer 1

It depends on your perspective. The things people typically consider benefits of revenge include:

1. Getting to vent what was wrong and blow off steam.

2. Sending a memorable message to the offender to not do whatever again.

3. Sending a message to the public to not do whatever.

4. You may be protecting others from the offender.

However, revenge has its cons:

1. You may feel guilty immediately after doing it, and you may even tell on yourself or force yourself to make restitution.

2. You may go to jail or prison and have a record, depending on the severity of the revenge.

3. It does not undo what the initial offender did.

4. You only become like the initial offender.

5. You may end up doing things to others that you cannot undo no matter how much you want to.

6. It contradicts most religious teachings.
