REVENGE

‘A seven letter word filled with one color of life: Black’

In present world, people have become really short tempered and egoistic. We don’t see any healthy fights or competitions these days; rather the emotions are over shadowed with hatred, jealousy and anger.

Is this ‘REVENGE’ so important to us that we could go beyond all the limits for it or it’s just to satisfy our personal ego? The consequences of the harsh steps taken in service to this word are hardly thought about.

We nowadays are just concerned about ourselves. Our happiness, our success, our sorrows, our anger, our revenge, but what happens to others is of no concern to us. Right, we've always been self-centered. The true essence of humanity: ‘WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER’ is lost somewhere deep.

Everything that we do either satisfies our soul or our immense self esteem, henceforth blurring the thin line and leading to our ego.

I often wonder why revenge is so important to us? I mean where are our original humanitarian values? Forgiveness? Mercy? Why is ‘me’ so much prominent that we can cross any boundary?

We often suspect people retaliating back with the acid attacks, sexual abuse or abuse over internet. These all are the results of ill-channelized anger and frustration one bear inside. They could have talked and tried to sort out the issues and had let go of the ‘WRONG’ they think someone did. After all, nothing could be more important than a person’s life?

Sure their anger is relieved and a sense of satisfaction might fill up their throats. These so called revenge seekers must have never thought about the trauma other person has to go through just because of their momentarily anger. Those people are the ones who face extreme hard situations in life. Be it being termed as a ‘victim’ or a ‘survivor’, getting imprisoned in one’s own home, bearing the sympathetic glances of the fellow people, the after effects haunts them, FOREVER!!. The physical injuries often heal with time, but the mental torture, the psychic trauma remains for an extremely long time. Life could even become a living nightmare for them.

I believe ‘Tit for tat’ is an utter non-sense. World could not survive if we always go on to keep a count of the things that does not please us. Sometimes you just got to ignore things, DELIBERATELY!!

“FORGIVE- not because others deserve it, but for yourself and your inner peace, and FORGET- not because it didn't matter, but because life is too short to brood over the past”.

Let your mind get some fresh air and some space to free itself from all the negativities and hard feelings for the fellow humans.

The most astonishing question that I had been thinking is ‘WHAT AFTER REVENGE’? What do we get? Absolutely Nothing! Shit! People might really hope to get some sort of peace and happiness by ruining someone else’s life but they won’t ever be able to square their eyes with themselves or with the almighty.

Well let me tell you all, this is just a sham. “WHAT GOES AROUND, MIGHT NOT COME AROUND for someone else” , you can change it with mercy and forgiveness.
