Would you ever pursue revenge?

[MLGbreezy]

Say you’re whole families slaughtered in front of you by some people in government and you find out a long time friend of yours was in on it and you were supposed to be killed to but survived and when they find out you’re alive they try to kill you too. Or even something like a serial killer kills you’re whole family in front of you but you get away. If given the chance would you take or even pursue revenge? I always ask myself what I’d do in those situations I see it a lot in Tv shows. Realistically I’d probably leave to law enforcement but I also know I’m the type to sometimes hold grudges and what’s more dangerous then a man with nothing to lose?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

If you were my brother or someone I loved, I’d rather you leave it to the law enforcement.

However, If that happened to me, I would like to imagine, I’d plot and revenge in the worst ways possible.

But I don’t know. I am very impulsive. When I was 16 I’ve chased down burglars with a kitchen knife cause I thought they might have harmed my family. It was darkness and my dad stopped me and held me so strong, my hand almost started bleeding.

So, in the heat of the moment I don’t know what I’d do. So, whoever would mess with my family, would be messing with a person they’d rather not mess with.

However, I hope I’d not be able to revenge, as it would destroy me to revenge and my family wouldn’t want that.

I see what you mean and that’s the thing about it even if you think you’re in the right and have the means to get the job done where does it end cause revenge can be a self destructive path but as for myself im a pretty Melo dude but I don't know if I could let something like that go someone who’d go so far to destroy you’re whole life it’s just a lot

[catiecatie]

This is pretty interesting. I hold grudges not going to lie and I probably would if they were trying to kill me as well. It would be hard to track an individual down months if not years down the road with some help, but again I’d definitely do it if they were still after me.

[MLGbreezy]

Interesting but that’s the thing about revenge in shows or movies people often lose there whole family and friends and if no then the friend is usually the one who betrayed them so you’re at a point where you got nothing to lose really and revenge looks like a pretty tempting choice especially if you tend to hold grudges

[catiecatie]

But that’s what I’m saying if I know they are trying to kill me then it’s another story. It would be hard to find someone months and even years after it all happened.

Read about a true crime story. Guy hires a drifter for work around the house (never do that without background checks). Pays him from a safe and talks about a trip he’s taking soon. Oops.

The drifter breaks in and finds the guys wife at home. Assaults her, steals the money, and drags her outside and sets her on fire. Why? Idk…

He’s convicted and keeps sending the bereaved husband letters taunting him. Gotta be the worse case scenario for vengeance.

Cut to the end, the hubby tries to hire prison gangs to shank his wife’s killer. Gets caught. Courts are nice to him though.

Oh without a doubt, but I'd take my time, let them start worrying when the axe was going to fall (literally & figuratively), I'd make death by 1000 cuts a reality for them, and there is nothing I would not do in revenge.

[FreyaRed]

Yes. Psychologists who claim retaliation doesn't grant any satisfaction are fools and hypocrites. On the other hand majority of people are emotional and their retaliation is just an emotional impulse. Someone said "Revenge is a dish that has to be served cold". I agree with that, causing most possible damage and hitting your enemy on pints where it hurts, demands a lot of planing and preparation. It's surely not a task that should happen from an emotional impulse.

[MLGbreezy]

Really I’d argue revenge in itself is an emotional impulse

[exitseven]

I would not rest until they were all put into the ground.

[AngryCarl2]

If someone murdered my family I would dedicate my life to it.

[MLGbreezy]

Lol the difference in opinion from men to woman is hilarious but I definitely can relate it’s not something you can overlook so easily

[In_Trance]

revenge is small dick energy. Move on with your life

[AmandaYVR]

No, I'm not vengeful at all. I want peace.

[dexter234]
