19. Vengeance

Vengeance: infliction of injury, harm, humiliation, or the like, on a person by another who has been harmed by that person; violent revenge; the desire for revenge; curse; imprecation. Basically...vengeance is when someone does something bad to you, so you get mad and try to get back at them. I do not know about you, but I love revenge. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is an old saying and I agree with it. If someone does something to you that is not right, justice has its place. I know there is a saying that if someone wrongs you that you should turn the other cheek, and offer the other to be hurt as well. This to me does not make sense? Karma is sort of like the earth's justice I guess you could say. I do not believe in karma per say, because, really, how can the earth know when someone does something bad then get them back for it? It can't... So, I think that most of the time if vengeance was not saught, yet occured, chances are it was either caused by any given action of the person or just a coincidence. Say someone stole ten dollars from me but I did not know who it was. Two days later they get pulled over for speeding and get a ticket. Was that karma? No, that was a result of their choice to speed. Vengeance is like taking the idea of karma, and using it yourself. Now say that same person stole that same ten dollars and I knew who it was... I would most definately get back at them. Chances are, it would be much more clever than stealing ten dollars. I know whenever my sister ever does anything to me and I get revenge, it is always HILARIOUS because I am great at it and it usually involves emberassing her. But I am not a mean sister, just a fair one who thinks revenge is great!
