Revenge is as well as to seek vengeance... and to my experience and knowledge to seek revenge is of both advantage and disadvantage to the person that wishes to take revenge.... It's always a choice to seeking Retribution or Retributive Justice mostly base on Religion believe and Relationship with God.. because it has Negativity and positivity and it could as well result to " HAD I KNOWN "... seeking revenge is like forcing nature .you know nature has it causes and blessings.
The was a story that happened in the eastern part of Nigeria some years ago. A man got married to a beautiful lady... which her beauty got the eyes of many... but love drew them in together..for years they where suffering for childlessness and the did everything possible medically necessary and otherwise but couldn't get any . ... after 9yrs they happened to be favoured and the wife conceived and after nine months she bore twin (two boys)...their Joy was overwhelmed and complete...the man was the happiest man on earth and then the came down to the village and desire to stay for some time...
After 5yrs of the twin going to their 6yr... something happen that a certain group of boys insist that one of the twin has committed a sacrilege on the day that is against the tradition of the community....the father pleaded that he will pay the penalty and traditional right for cleansings as usual as others did in the past... but some jealous leader and wicked hearts of men decided death to one of his son...the father, mother and other brother cried, begging and even the mom promise she should be killed in the boy place but the villagers refused and The boy was killed....
The long suffering for child, the pains , the agony and sorrows the past through
made the father and the other son vowed to take REVENGE ...
The cried, after years they boy grow up to a level, the father now sit him down and plan for vengeance the started taking revenge household by household... killing people once or twice a week without getting to know who and who or which family and which family where involved in the action against their son years back...the continue killing... taking revenge... blood flow in the village people started running away for the mysterious death is too much in the village.
At a point the secretly continue killing people once a week, sometimes two people in each family in a week or month...so the remaining youth of the village had to go for findings ... and wen they got to discover that all the killing and death in the village is done by the man and son with the support of the mother.. so the villagers decided to kill them all from the surface of the earth. Now the revenge the took as now turn to take their lives... this as become expensive experience to me for some revenge are not meant to be taken because it can cause your life... I know it's painful to see someone killing your love one but sincerely some revenge causes lots of life...
It happened to me in my secondary school days in my Js2 second term...I was appointed a class prefect, a day came I had to defend my classmate even when I knew that the noises was from student in my section A of Js2 but since I was a leader I wanted to show good example..I the had to lie and deny the noise making sound which the teacher insisted it's from my class.
The teacher now say that if I Don't point those that make noise that I will receive 24 stroke of Cane so I still stood my ground and stood for the class and received the 24 stroke with lot's of pains and tears. At point I couldn't even sit even I got sick... the worst of it is after the beating the class was laughing I was very angry and I promise I will take Revenge
A beautiful day came the next term as I was still the head prefect of the class exactly noise making happened... this time the wicked good flogging teacher
Arrived and asked me the prefect to point out those that make noise and decided to take Revenge by pointing nearly everyone exemption for those that didn't laugh at me...the where punishment by flogging them and standing on the sun and cut grasses till school close that day...the received double of what I did
..The revenge I took was out of the pains and my Revenge was the positives one.... And it didn't cause my life... It was even a worth Revenge.
Looking at revenge it's really good to take but there are some stages you have to let Nemesis to take it cause by nature....
