Revenge

        Revenge-to inflict harm or injury for a wrong.
 
Revenge is such a cruel word that bites into one’s once pure soul.  We learn from the beginning to the end of the life that we have to teach ourselves and our children not to pursue such a bitter word.  Just one word can cause mounting pain and torture to loved ones, direct or indirect.  It makes hearts rot and blister until it boils over and decays in an oozing catastrophe.  Just one word could spread through veins like putrid poison as it mutilates countries, nations, even the best of friends that were thought to be glued together.  Some people take it lightly, like a feather brushing the sruface of a flat pond. Some people take the word to the furthest extent, to take lives, to torture.  This retched word is supposed to be taught to be disowned and avoided.  We need to teach our poor children never to be in contact with such a meaningless word such as revenge.
 
Then why, might I ask, do I want it?
