How is revenge a "need?"
ReplyDeletewell mr g say you got picked on by a kid who constantly picked on you over and over and it got worser. years past and you move away. but you feel ou forgot something...... that something boggles your mind constantly which brings your spirit and you become nervous alot. well sometimes people have that and ts because thy need revenge on that person you or people got picked on by. but anyway some revenge is a good thing, not saying you should do it all the time and get revenge on that jersey kid. i dont know help me out woj-jefe
ReplyDeleteI really dont belive in revenge unless its somthing really really serious like messing with my little sister.i would have to get revenge if somone did somthing to her. Revernge can be very dangerous if you use it in the wrong way.(and yes i relize that revernge is not a tool excuse my grammer) I mean if you keep doing revenge over and over and over again the person will take revenge on you and it goes back and forth betwen you and the revengee and in the end your mentality for everything will just be revenge. I also think that we learn revenge at a very young age some by our parents and some by our freinds. My dad always told me that if you get punched punch back and i did... then i got in trouble. and my freinds told me if somone steals from you steal somthing from them or call them names but in the end it never really worked out, but to some degree the has to be revenge.

revenge isn't right i've taken revenge on someone and i saw that i got nothing out of it but a load of troble it dosent justify anything and it dosent prove anything-jimmy
ReplyDeleteLike I said, taking this from that was then this is now, when brain got beat up and that other kid (can't think of is name) wanted to beat up shepard to get REVENGE he said no. No point fueling the fire just to get burned even more. I recently had gum thrown at my hair. Alot of people said hey man, go get him. I said I refused to use violence beacuse I'm just "digging two graves".
ReplyDelete---Trent ( ancient chineese proverb) Knight
REvenge is just a way to make yourself feel better, but when you think about it Peter got revenge and he was happy. The real question is for how long are you happy that you got revenge. In my case I've almost always noticed that when I "get revenge" it always comes back around and something happens. A little bit like karma, but anyway. Revenge isn't worth being happy for the short time after. Once you get caught you are back to getting revenge. Once you start revenge it will just continue in a cycle until you realize that revenge isn't worth it which could take you your whole life.
ReplyDeleteThink about all the things you could do instead of getting revenge. I mean their are a million different paths to take. I guess Peter didn't have many, but what about Derek? Why didn't he just hang with him? That could have been his way out.
So back to the quote, I think it explains revenge perfectly. You can't take revenge and get one person in trouble without it coming back to dig your grave too. -Taylor
from one point of view ::
ReplyDeleteit depends on the situation. i think consequences for out actions may be better than revenge, revenge may not be worth it. however, both revenge and not doing anything can both be the wrong thing to do. if you let someone walk all over you, and come contnue to let that happne, then it is wrong to not do anything about it. standing up for yourslef, or treating someone the same way they treated you to show them how bad it it, well, it's respectable, but not always right, but done for the right reasons.
it depends... just dependss.
another point of view ::
karma, many think its not truee but it is and it will come around to bit people who are doing wrong in the butt. so you dont have to worry about getting back at someone because the world will do it for you. but if you do get back at someone then karama will come around and bit you in the butt.
just leave it to karma
one more point of view ::
to me revenge is totally right! if someone hurts me then i want to get back at them. it would make me feel better about myself. why should i be the only one who gets hurt in this siduation? is that fair? to me revenge is totally nessisary and needed. its a "taste of their own mediciane."
now that i have all the points of views of others that i can think of, i would like to tell what i think. its a little of everything. i believe that it depends on the siduation, karma may or may not get you if you do get back at someone [[ im still not sure if i really belive in karma or not ]]and that sometimes people really do need a taste of their own medicaine.
hollyyy.
Revenge isn't sweet. All getting revenge on someone does is make the situation worse,when you get revenge on someone your doing the same thing back to the revenge receiver that you were so mad about when they did it to you,or worse.Also by getting revenge your not changing the person that did something to you in the 1st place at all,there not going to say,"oh wow he just threw a bowling ball at my head because i called him a fag for 8 years, i guess ill stop being mean to him forever."

yea holly your first paragraph is what i was trying to say-jefe
ReplyDeleteFor what Woj said at the top of the list and Mr. G said why is revenge a "need." Some people would say because you fell like you need to do this to move on, like you would need calcium for your bones and body sometimes to move on in life. I say something like the quote If your going to have revenge on someone you need to make two graves for him and you. IF you make revenge You think it would make you feel better but its not, if fells better at first but after a while you feel like cr**.

" an eye for an eye leaves the hold world blind" this is true that you should never be a revenger, rage will leaves you blind. It is how you think you fell at the end is it what you want or are you lower then the other person. in my opinion No revenge is not the answer because the time will come when someone is see the cr## you are taken and who know it mite be a cute girl.

Revenge is a 'beach'. It will always can back to hit you. Like, I would make fun of someone and then something bad would happen to me. It's karma. Karma is the natures natural revenge system.

" an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind"
ReplyDeleteWow Nick, I love that quote!
Revenge is rage, when you turn to rage, you do what the rage tells you to do. This is a lesson all to true and I learned it from reading Whale Talk.
To me revenge is basically karma. Every time someone does something to hurt me or piss me off I think of every way possible to get revenge. I love revenge. It’s the best feeling in the world. But, when you fight fire with fire all you get is more fire so I try my best to control myself because I know Karma will come into play and get that person back.
ReplyDelete-Critchfield
In my perspective seeking revenge is good at the time when something that someone does makes you mad and i want o get that person back but in the end i end up doing nothing becausw overall i know its wrong and just because someone does something that doesnt make you feel sad but just plain angry you want revenge and at that time its seems like the best thing in the world and gives you a good feeling and sighns that justice was served but it wasnt it just means that whens something bad happens to you your sinking to that persons level and is just making the situation worse.

if i was seeking Revenge it would probley be for a good reason. someone would have had to do something really bad to me.i would take that Revenge in a second if someone hit me or embassment me. i am sure everyoneone eles would feel the same way doug
ReplyDeleteRevenge isn't the same as justice, obviously.
ReplyDeleteRevenge is personal, it's about making yourself feel better. I was never a really big fan of revenge...but that's just me. Not really what's I'm into.
Also, when I say the word revenge, I scarred. It's not the same feeling I get when someboddy says I'm gonna go get back at this person, or return the favor. When I say the word revenge the color red comes to mind, and it sounds dangerous, more serious.
The chinese proverb isn't advice or information, it's a warning. When you commit Revenge, they go down and you go down.
