Good day friends
For days I look at TV about various religious revenge and wonder where this world is going. So many deaths of children, women ....
Psychologists say that the feeling of revenge is a natural feeling, but it's just a difference in whether someone will manage to control it.
Are you a vindictive person?

I find religious revenge, sad. Isn't that the opposite of what a lot of religions teach?
I admit. I want revenge when someone has wronged me. But I find comfort in the saying of "the best revenge is a life well lived".

@Nevena83 I think those who do violence in the name of religion, sometimes, are looking for a noble cause to get people to agree with them.
It's true, only God can judge us

Not really. But human emotions does enter life when unpleasant things happen to me in life. I don't seek revenge for I pray, "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord", and I go on and forgive, but if I have made a complaint about it to the police I'd not drop charges, but I'd forgive and not seek vengeance. You can get arrested if you seek vengeance, so it's just not worth the time and effort for vengeance at all.

@oahuwriter Yes, I always suffer what my parents and my brother are doing to me badly. Do you think everyone gets what he deserves?

Depending, as psychologists say, it's a natural feeling to us. Than, probably I am. But until now I had no reason

@LowRiderX You're right, but sometimes I want some people to get what they deserve.

most people aren't worth exerting the energy it would require to take revenge.
they'll trip themselves up eventually.

I'm not a person who seeks revenge. I just let God take care of it all

True God is the only one who judges, but do you think that everyone always gets what he deserves?

I am not vindictive at all. Just like every other human, I sometimes have thoughts of revenge, but I quickly quell those thoughts and turn my focus on to other more positive things.

@Nevena83 Do you think more people would retaliate if there weren't laws in place to punish them for doing so?

@moffittjc Yes, I think and I do not think it is necessary to punish people who are avenging themselves for raping or killing their children.

I am not. If somebody does anything wrong to me, I will just let karma does the rest for me.

I love your honesty. I am often angry and I want to do something, and then I realize that I can not do it.

If one has experienced downfall caused by some people, revenge is a normal reaction, but it is not a healthy reaction because it will have ill effect on one's self. One can become so obsessed at getting back to the extent that it may lead to self destruction,

I absolutely agree with you. A sense of hatred, revenge, can destroy us.
