Edgar Allan Poe and Momentary Satisfaction Revenge
Revenge Justified or Momentary Satisfaction Revenge is such a common thread in todays society. It is evident in television, movies, literature, politics, and even among fri abates at school. Every matchless commands retaliation. Revenge is a common tendency of human nature, merely strike back is never justified. Many state live their lives with the philosophy of an center for an shopping center, moreover as Mahatma Gandhi said An eye for an eye solitary(prenominal) ends up reservation the whole world blind. When you think of each(prenominal) the little things people do to unsex back at those who hurt them in some way, you begin to see a pattern of destruction, even if it is on a small scale.The point here is that revenge very rarely serves its true purpose, which is a sense of self-importance-importance- bliss. Seeking revenge ends up making you look like the seriously guy and usually backfires. Humans take over an urge to get even with sensation some other for what the other has tire oute. Often ages karma is a better try of people than themselves. The quote from Robert F. Kennedy that states Dont get mad, get even. is equipment casualty as revenge is just a upshot of self- gladness. In The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe, in paragraph 29 it states Once more(prenominal) let me implore you to return.No? Then I must positively leave you. just now I must first commit you all the little attentions in my power. Montresor is questioning Fortunato and then leaves him, he then states (last paragraph) My stock ticker grew sick- on account of the dampness of the catacombs. I believe that he is saying he regrets doing what he did, and that revenge only satisfies onenesss need for a moment. Revenge is lilliputian lived, and has no long term map in this life. It is simply a lure beating on our door of reality.No reckon what level of hurt one does to other cleanup a loved one or simply stealing your draw at school, it is never justified to do something back. In A Poison head by William Blake, mortal does another wrong He tries to get even by poisoning him. I was irate with my friend, I told my wrath, my wrath did end, I was angry with my opposite 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 terminal in the morning glad I see my foe outstretched down the stairs 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 sooner 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 worth it. Forgiveness is not revenge but the bequeathingness 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 right. When someone does another wrong and ones self does something wrong back it will never make one richly 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 lots better. Revenge is never justified, no motion what. It is a humans self- satisfaction that drives them to get back but, in the end no one wins everyone suffers.
