REVENGE #15

REVENGE. Is it good or bad?

I work with a people who have murdered, raped, stolen, tortured, harassed, hurt, etc. all in the name of 'revenge'. What we really feel is hurt or fear but those are too vulnerable to deal with so we turn it to a more primal feeling; anger. But anger too, comes with a price. Just look at all the negative emotion words associated with revenge (see pic) and ask your self if you can feel peace or joy while juggling those feelings inside yourself.

Another piece of this is connected to healing. We won't heal when we are angry. We won't heal when we're plotting what we deem 'justice' towards another. The emotional wound will only fester and get infected. Which is a real bummer because being angry is so much easier than getting out of victim stance.

So really, you have 2 choices. Be angry and stay angry on that piece of your life until you die OR choose (I'm not saying 'forgiveness' or 'forget' on purpose because most people use that magical term to stuff down anger) to change your belief surrounding the event(s) to a more empowering place - such as you learned from it - You grew from it - It helped you become the awesome that you currently are.
