Revenge

School went by in a flash today... Without realizing the time, school was over...Fast... And just like any other day, I took the public bus home... It's getting a little colder now...as the wind is coming around... and bringing along some snow too... All said and done... Winter's coming, it's getting colder now... So for all you guys interested in snow and the cold... "Whooopiee-doo"...And for the rest of us with a liking of 0-2degrees.... Get Dressed!!

An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind... After publishing my last post, I couldn't get that expicit phrase to vacate my weary mind... This intelligible phrase was well-said by the wise peacemaker, Gandhi... This phrase is so simple yet so elaborate... This comprehensive phrase has lead this indifferent mind of mine towards another word... A word which represents retaliation, avengement, counterplay, malevolence, retribution and vengeance... This word is the source of the phrase itself; revenge... I have once heard... "Revenge is a meal best served cold"... Revenge has no other way of being served... There is nothing polite or courteous in revenge, no kindness or generosity, no sense of hospitality or charity... Revenge is just pure cold hearted payback, counterblow, reciprocate... The thought of it gives the chills right down the spine...

To some, revenge is manipulated to a necessity... some refer to revenge an eye for an eye... and this in fact, has become a compulsory act or what some might say, an excuse... A pathetic and petty excuse to hurt one that has once hurt you... and as most people do not understand, an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind... Yes... We should not tolerate disrespect or insolence of others... but we should not take punishments too far... That was the cause of the Great Wars in the first place... ( All the countries were so blindly inspired by revenge which caused the World War)...

Revenge proves its own executioner(John Ford)
By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing over it, he is superior.(Francis Bacon)
'Tis more noble to forgive, and more manly to despise, than to revenge an Injury.(Benjamin Franklin)
Those who plot the destruction of others often fall themselves.(Phaedrus)
Revenge is the naked idol of the worship of a semi-barbarous age. (Percy Bysshe Shelley)

Revenge taste as sweet as honey...at first... The aftertaste is just like rusted metal...
