If someone hurt one of your family or partner would you seek revenge? Even if it meant going to prison for it? I would if anyone hurt my family.

At first I feel like taking revenge.Suddenly I remember "error is humane and forgive is devine". Are we not doing mistakes and harming many.When some body does a mistakes to us we remember that and we conveniently forget what all we have done to others.More over revenging will not solve the problem.Forgive the evil of others so that you may be forgiven.The world is full of malice because we don't forgive and we go on revenging and mistakes get multiplied.What is the fun in going to prison after avenging.Can't you forgive and lead a peaceful life. Remember revenging is humane and forgiving is devine.Be devine and friend to all so that you may be noble fellow being.

I'll surely take revenge legally. If I couldn't take revenge, then the guilty will suffer in his/her next birth. After all, I'm a peace loving man.

"Revenge is mine", saith the Lord. It's a waste of time and energy. I'm glad you used the word "if". By going to prison it would appear that you would "kill" someone. What good would that do. How does is that justification. And if you do mean murder can you honestly tell me that if the situation arose you could actually kill another person?

Mmm, I guess it was hypothetical, and it would be hard to judge how I would feel if and I hope it would never ever happen that someone close to me was taken away prematurely and how I would feel. Thank you for your valid point and probably when it comes down to it I don't think I could go through with it, but would revenge eat me up, its a heavy price to pay and I'm afraid the present justice system will not be able to deal with the culprit/s properly.

I don't honestly know what I would do if I were in that situation what I would do. I do care very much for my family and that alone makes me think I would ,however, I am just not a vengefull person.
