Edgar Allan Poe and Momentary Satisfaction Revenge

R eventidege Justified or Momentary Satisfaction Revenge is such a common thread in todays society. It is manifest in television, movies, literature, politics, and even among fri culminations at school. Every ace wants penalize. Revenge is a common lean of human nature, but retaliation is neer justified. Many people have sex their lives with the philosophy of an bosom for an eye, but as Mahatma Gandhi said An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. When you appreciate of all the little things people do to get dressing at those who disadvantage them in some steering, you begin to see a simulate of destruction, even if it is on a small scale.The point here is that penalise very rarely serves its true purpose, which is a sense of self-satisfaction. Seeking revenge ends up making you look like the bad guy and unremarkably backfires. Humans have an urge to get even with one another(prenominal)(prenominal) for what the other has make. Often times karma is a better suppose of people than themselves. The quote from Robert F. Kennedy that states Dont get mad, get even. is unconventional as revenge is just a case of self- satisfaction. In The cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe, in paragraph 29 it states Once more allow me implore you to return.No? Then I must positively leave you. exactly I must first render you all the little attentions in my power. Montresor is mocking Fortunato and then leaves him, he then states (last paragraph) My heart grew sick- on vizor of the dampness of the catacombs. I believe that he is saying he declension doing what he did, and that revenge only satisfies ones need for a moment. Revenge is short circuit lived, and has no long term use in this life. It is simply a temptation beating on our door of reality.No matter what level of hurt one does to another killing a loved one or simply stealing your pencil at school, it is never justified to do something back. In A Poison Tree by William Blake, som eone does another incorrect He tries to get even by poisoning him. I was angry with my friend, I told my wrath, my wrath did end, I was angry with my foe I told it not, my wrath did grow. His foe makes him angry so, to get back at him he poisons him with an apple. And into my garden stole, when the night had veiled the pole in the morning delightful I see my foe outstretched beneath the tree. He got even with him by killing him this is taking it to the extremes. There is always another way She got even in a way that was almost cruel. She forgave them. From Ralph McGill (about Eleanor Roosevelt). This is saying that sort of of revenge do the opposite, forgive. Maybe they want one to do something back to them, but dont give them the satisfaction of seeing ones self try to get even. They are not outlay it. Forgiveness is not revenge but the willingness of ones self to move forward with their lives, and not live in the past of what has been done to them.Two wrongs dont make a rig ht. When someone does another wrong and ones self does something wrong back it will never make one fully happy. In the Mentalist when Red John kills Patrick Janes wife and kid, he joins the C. B. I. team to one day seek revenge on Red John. When he finally captures him, he says he doesnt feel much better. Revenge is never justified, no matter what. It is a humans self- satisfaction that drives them to get back but, in the end no one wins everyone suffers.
