When we think of revenge what comes immediately to our mind is something antisocial; something that would destroy others completely or even take their life because they have hurt us so badly. Revenge is a feeling that is inherent to human beings and we cannot run away from this reality. We often try to suppress this strong emotion and create lot of psychological havoc to ourselves.
Some of the feelings that are associated with revenge are anger, feeling cheated, feel that you are let down by the person whom you trusted so much, feeling insulted etc. It can be your girlfriend or your boy friend that has cheated you or probably one of your friends whom you counted on just let you down in times of need or it is your boss who insulted you in front of others. It always need not be something dramatic it can also be something as small as someone rushing into the parking space that you have been patiently waiting for or a conman who has duped and sold something for double the original cost. In all these situations we immediately feel angry and the urge is to cause damage to the person or property that belongs to the person who has hurt us. We will not be able to execute those feelings immediately because the arms of law would come into play if we acted on our urges. So we suppress so many things like these in our day-to-day life. On the long run we start carrying a heavy baggage of revenge processes that have been initiated at the time of the incident. As we have not dealt with them effectively they still lie inside waiting to erupt at an unexpected time.
We have heard of ancient laws, possibly of biblical times that went by the principle of andlsquo;Eye for an eye and a tooth for a toothandrsquo;. This was to limit people from creating excessive damage to the others so you just inflict on others exactly the same pain that you have suffered. However our modern civilization does not allow us to do this. But strangely it is only our civilization that has changed but human minds still operate the same way. We still continue to get angry the same way to retaliate others with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth principle and that is what seems correct to us even today.
We can also let out our anger and take revenge on others in a variety of ways that are what we may call healthy, in a way that will help us have a good laugh at the whole situation. You may want to use our Photo Shop skills and graphically edit the photo of your girl friend and merge it with a stripperandrsquo;s body. Or you may want to replace your bossandrsquo; face on bulldog and have it as your desktop picture at home or mail it to your friends. You just need to be careful that you donandrsquo;t include your bossandrsquo; email id habitually when you are mailing your friends. Be creative and you can come up with hundreds of ways of taking revenge without causing damage to oneandrsquo;s property or life but at the same time have that psychological relief that we need.
