Revenge - this is the force that directs the actions of a person offended, who has undergone cruelty and injustice against him. In most cases, the reason for revenge is the tragic events in life. Manifestations of injustice can be very different and are limited only by the level of human consciousness. The desire to take revenge at all costs sometimes creeps into the heart of a person who was not previously familiar with spiritual malice. Life itself is complex, and everyone fights for it with all his might, sometimes inflicting the most cruel insults on his neighbor in this struggle. And few find in themselves the strength to generously forgive, the desire to respond with evil to evil turns out to be stronger. And the question arises: why does a person devote his life to “punishing” another. Probably most people just find comfort in their revenge, which is sometimes so hard to find. Retribution brings pleasure precisely due to the satisfaction of one's anger, mental pain. Only a truly generous person can step over his pain, break the chain of evil and not inflict insults in return. What is generosity? If we read the definition of this word in any dictionary, we will see that this quality is interpreted as positive, inherent in strong and wise people.
Generosity - this is the ability to think not only about yourself and put other people's interests above your own. This is a quality of character, which is expressed in compliance, condescension and attentive attitude towards people. Since ancient times, everyone has valued and respected generous people as those who have a big loving heart. Even the word itself is complex, it consists of two parts: "great soul." What kind of person can be called generous? great soul someone who is touched by the problems of other people, who sympathizes with the grief of his neighbor, who is able to be noble in relation to his offender. A generous person is not vindictive, he knows how to forgive and accept the imperfection of people, he knows how to sacrifice his own interests. A child who feels the love of parents, sees their generous deeds, can become such in the future. Being magnanimous is very difficult, and a person who learns to think not only about himself, but also about others, will receive the love and respect of everyone around him. The concepts of "revenge" and "generosity" are diametrically opposed, but often in literary works they are manifested in the actions of the same hero.
A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" In the novel "Eugene Onegin" Pushkin raises the problem of revenge and generosity on the example of the actions of the protagonist. Eugene Onegin decided to take revenge on his friend Lensky, who persuaded him to come to the ball in honor of the birth of Tatyana. Onegin did not like the gatherings of his village neighbors and yielded to the persuasion of his friend only because Lensky assured: there would be only his own. Onegin decided to take revenge on his comrade through the frivolous Olga. The enamored Lensky was furious when he saw his bride dancing with Onegin. He challenged a recent friend to a duel. Here Onegin could have shown generosity: to talk with Lensky, to explain the reason for his behavior, but the fear of being the subject of ridicule did not allow him to do this. Onegin accepted the challenge and killed his friend.
A.S. Pushkin "Dubrovsky" In the work "Dubrovsky" A.S. Pushkin thinks about the problem of revenge and generosity on the example of two families: the Troekurovs and the Dubrovskys.

Dubrovsky's son decided to take revenge on his rich neighbor after the death of his father. Having lost his home, Vladimir, along with his people, becomes a robber and a robber.

M.Yu. Lermontov "Song about the merchant Kalashnikov" In “The Song about the Merchant Kalashnikov”, M.Yu. Lermontov spoke about the cruel customs of the times of Ivan the Terrible, when the power of the tsar’s guardsmen was unlimited, so the excesses of the tsar’s servants were common. The merchant Kalashnikov in the work of Lermontov decided to take revenge on Kiribeevich for the insult inflicted on his wife. This revenge is justified, as it is closely connected with the manifestation of generosity, which is based on the desire to protect one's family from shame and reproach. Only the tsar does not show the same generosity, and the execution of Kalashnikov becomes revenge for the merchant's victory in a fair fight with the guardsman Kiribeevich. The people consider Kalashnikov their hero.
N.V. Gogol "Terrible revenge" In Gogol's story, we are talking about the nature of human revenge - the plot of the entire work is connected with this phenomenon.

Peter killed two people, and his descendant - countless. Evil grows and multiplies. Peter himself suffers underground, grows along with the evil that his descendant creates, and experiences terrible suffering. Ivan, who avenged his brother so terribly, is also tormented, as he is forced to observe the consequences of his punishment. But it all started with the envy of brother to brother: if Petro had not killed Ivan, nothing would have happened. Everyone would live and enjoy life, a sorcerer would be born a normal person and would not call the dead from their graves, causing them terrible suffering. But there was no generosity in the souls of the brothers, which alone is capable of forgiving others and rejoicing in their happiness and success.

This work tells about a woman from whom the war took away the most precious thing - her beloved people: her husband and son. The atrocities of the Nazis are so inhuman that Maria, seeing the German, grabbed a pitchfork and was ready to kill the enemy in order to avenge all the evil that the Nazis had done to her. But the word "Mom" stopped her. The generosity of this woman is so boundless that she finds the strength in herself to treat this warrior like a mother.
A. I. Kuprin. "Duel". It is difficult for the main character of A. I. Kuprin’s story “The Duel”, the dreamy and noble Romashov, to get along in a society of empty and indifferent people.

Raisa decides to compromise the second lieutenant in the face of Lieutenant Nikolaev, accusing him of having an affair with Alexandra Petrovna, the wife of Vladimir Efimych. The slander leads to a duel of rivals, in which Romashov dies. Revenge led to a tragic denouement: an innocent man was killed, and it is impossible to return him.
L. N. Tolstoy "War and Peace" In Tolstoy's epic novel, the protagonist, Andrei Bolkonsky, only after going through a difficult spiritual path, was destined to get rid of selfishness, which destroyed generosity in his heart and gave rise to anger. Feeling humiliated and insulted after the misconduct of Natasha Rostova, Andrei goes to war: his only desire is to find Anatoly Kuragin and kill him. In the struggle of feelings, patriotism wins: Prince Andrei refuses to serve in Kutuzov's headquarters and becomes a regiment commander. He managed to become a fair mentor and even a friend for his subordinates, and during the battle he never hid behind their backs. The culmination of the experiences of Andrei Bolkonsky is battle of Borodino, during which he, despite the danger, is in the line of fire to support his soldiers, and as a result of this he is seriously injured. Already during the operation, he remembers Natasha and realizes that he loves her more than before, and not only her, but the whole world. Noticing Kuragin on the next table, Andrei does not find in his heart the former hatred and thirst for revenge. He experienced "enthusiastic pity and love" for his defeated enemy. Thinking about Kuragin, Prince Andrei came to the conclusion that the most important thing in life is what Princess Mary had taught him before and what he did not understand: “compassion, love for brothers, for those who love, love for those who hate us, love for enemies -. .. the love that God preached on earth...”. At this moment, his final moral insight occurs.

Bible - Leviticus
To revenge or not to revenge, that is the question. If I understand Shakespeare correctly, then a person who is constantly in a state of choice is a truly free person. But being free, he is responsible for his choice, agreeing to accept the consequences that follow. Revenge is always a choice between the desire for revenge and the ability to forgive. And I must say that making this choice is not easy. Each decision will have its consequences - both positive and negative. On the one hand, a feeling of resentment, a feeling of anger, a feeling of hatred, a feeling of injustice - arouse in a person a burning desire to take revenge. On the other hand, revenge is far from always necessary, so you can forgive someone who once harmed you, not for his sake, but for yourself, for your future. In this article, dear friends, we will talk about what revenge is, in which cases it is needed and in which it is not, and how you can take revenge on your offenders if you decide to do so.
What is revenge?
Revenge is such actions to which a person is motivated in order to harm people who have previously harmed him. The motivating moment is such feelings as strong resentment, anger, hatred, a sense of injustice, and in some cases, common sense also encourages people to take revenge. Yes, revenge can be not only justified, but also necessary. Below you will find out why. In general, if you delve into the understanding of revenge, you can still learn a lot of interesting and useful things about it. In particular, it can be said that revenge lives in a person for a long time in the form of deep resentment and a sense of injustice, and these feelings sit in a person until he takes revenge. This is a purely psychological problem. If necessary, a psychologist can help a person get rid of severe emotional wounds and then this person will not need to take revenge on anyone in order to calm down and feel comfortable. But it happens that people take revenge out of conviction, considering revenge as their duty. And sometimes it happens that a person carries a grudge for a long time, but does not plan to take revenge. But at one fine moment in his life, absolutely by chance, such a situation arises when he can take revenge on his offenders and he does it - he takes advantage of the opportunity that has arisen and takes revenge. So revenge can be fueled by feelings, it can be guided by reasonable considerations, or it can just become a pure accident. And it’s quite difficult to take it like that and say that revenge is necessary or not necessary, that this is right or wrong. In different situations, solutions may be different. Let's now see when it is necessary and possible to take revenge, and when it is better to refuse revenge.
Why do you need to take revenge?
First, consider the arguments for taking revenge. The first thing revenge contributes to is peace of mind, comfort. The evil and the harm that other people cause us injures our psyche, hurts our soul. And these traumas turn into deep spiritual resentment, which remains in a person until he either takes revenge on his offenders or forgives them. There will be no peace in the soul of a person until he sorts out his grievances. And if revenge is the only way to find peace, then, in principle, you can take revenge, especially if there is such an opportunity. Revenge can become for a person a kind of triumph of justice, punishment of evil, compensation for damage, harm. A sense of justice lives in every person, which allows him to resist evil and fight it. It pushes a person to revenge, as to the only opportunity to restore justice and find peace of mind. If we believe that everything in this life comes back as a boomerang, including evil, then why don't we ourselves launch this boomerang in the opposite direction, so that the one who caused us harm, pain, damage, evil does not receive something in return? same thing?
In this world of constant struggle, a person can resort to various methods of protection, including revenge, which is a delayed punishment for his enemies. Nobody is obliged to forgive anyone, it is a matter of personal choice. Those who talk about the need to forgive, and not take revenge, cannot understand what it means to live with a sense of anger and resentment or a humiliated sense of self-worth, when a person ceases to see himself as a person, when he loses faith in himself, when he gets stuck in the past and again and again experiences pain, suffering, humiliation from his offenders, his enemies. This pain corrodes his soul, makes his life meaningless, makes him a hostage of the situation in which he suffered moral and / or physical harm, when he suffered some kind of loss that he cannot come to terms with. To tell such a person that it is necessary to forgive evil means to call him to glorify this evil and bow before it. Therefore, one should not condemn those who wish to take revenge on their offenders and enemies in order to simply start living again, and not be killed by their anger and resentment. If there is no peace in the soul, if pain, resentment, anger interfere with life normal life, then a person has the right to get even with those who once deprived him of this peace. Some people live only for revenge, because there is nothing else in their life that would be worth living for. It may not be right, but that's how it is.
I believe that every person has the right to take revenge on those who harmed him and all those who are dear to him. It is not because of this that the human soul cannot find rest until evil is punished, that all of us are commanded from above to forgive those who have harmed us. Therefore, everyone decides for himself how he will find peace of mind - with the help of revenge or with the help of other methods of cleansing his soul from insults and healing it from wounds, including forgiveness. This is about the psychological side of this issue.
However, this issue also has a practical side, which makes revenge a necessary phenomenon for our lives. The fact is that revenge is a punishment that can overtake everyone. This is true - you can take revenge on any person, no matter who he is. We all know very well that some actions of people need to be encouraged so that people tend to do them more often, while others need to be punished so that people do not do them. Usually we encourage conditional goodness and punish conditional evil, considering this not only fair, but also useful for our life. Thus we indulge good and stop evil. It makes our life more peaceful. But if a person has done a bad deed in relation to other people and has not been punished for it, then with a high degree of probability he will do it again in the future. Impunity gives rise to permissiveness and this leads to the fact that there is more evil in our world. The task of revenge is to stop evil with the help of retaliatory aggression. Or rather, through fear. When the aggressor is afraid of punishment, he behaves more restrainedly. And if he nevertheless decides on an evil deed, he will suffer an adequate punishment as a warning to others. In this case, one evil balances another evil. Revenge here acts as a guarantee that evil will certainly be punished, no matter who it comes from.
There are people who completely lack such feelings as conscience, pity, compassion. They live according to other rules, according to other laws, they have their own beliefs, their own understanding of life. And only one thing stops them from harming other people - fear. It allows you to keep such people in check. Dumb, primitive animal fear is the only thing that can hold back the evil that lives in them. And in order to awaken this fear in them, they need to be made clear that if they commit bad deeds, if they cause harm to other people, punishment will surely overtake them. Thus, revenge is a kind of law of life [the talion principle], which is designed to punish evil. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth - this is precisely the principle that is designed to equalize the punishment with the damage caused. But this principle is not flawless, since very often people harm each other without thinking at all about the consequences. They say they don't know what they're doing. And therefore, the subsequent revenge in such cases is often not so much the intimidation of evil as its unwinding. Here it is already appropriate to recall the words of Mahatma Gandhi, who said that the principle of “an eye for an eye” will make the whole world blind. Therefore, the line between necessary revenge and revenge that generates a chain reaction is very thin.
Nevertheless, in politics, intelligence agencies, the criminal world - revenge is very important. She is a manifestation of strength. If you can take revenge, they fear you, they respect you, they reckon with you. No aggression, no harm caused by the enemy, no betrayal should go unpunished, otherwise it will be a manifestation of weakness, which, as you know, provokes the aggressor to display even more aggression. Therefore, from this point of view, revenge is not so much an insult as a completely practical action, the practicality of which lies in the fact that your enemies and ill-wishers see strength in you and therefore reckon with you. But despite the practical side of revenge, it is not always useful and not always necessary. Let's now see in which cases it is better to refuse it.
Why not take revenge?
We will now consider the arguments against revenge. Still, in some situations it is possible and necessary to take revenge, but in others, it is better to refuse revenge. The first and main argument against revenge is meaning. You just have to understand what you will gain and what you will lose if you take revenge on someone. The pros should outweigh the cons. In some situations, revenge leads to the fact that the life of the person who took revenge only gets worse. And it turns out that such revenge harms not only the offender, but also the one who takes revenge. And if this harm of the avenger is quite significant, then there is no point in such revenge. And it’s just important to always understand what you will get if you take revenge, what benefit your revenge will bring to you. Even if your soul doesn’t feel better because of this, for one reason or another, then why waste your life on revenge at all? Do not think about those whom you are taking revenge on - think first of all about yourself. Evil in this world will not disappear anywhere anyway, it will always be, but your life seems to be one, and it is wiser to make efforts to make it better, and not to strive to worsen the lives of others.
The next point is resources. Revenge requires a variety of resources, primarily temporary. The better your revenge is and the more difficult it is for you to take revenge on a person because of his status and capabilities, the more resources it will require from you. Of course, you can always take advantage of an opportunity and take revenge on a person easily and quickly, without much effort, taking advantage of his weakness, problems, mistakes. But, of course, one should not count on such cases. So if revenge is purposeful, deliberate and effective, then certain resources will be required. Given this, we can say that the game is not always worth the candle. Because you can use the same resources to improve your life and expand your opportunities, and not to senseless revenge. And having great opportunities, you will gain power over people and, if necessary, will be able to get even with those of them who once harmed you. So in this sense, the best revenge on your offenders and enemies will be your success in life, which will make you strong and, most importantly, happy.
But an even stronger argument against revenge is your understanding that you should not and are not obliged to take revenge. You know, you don't have to. No one has the right to dissuade you from revenge, and no one has the right to call you to it. You and only you decide whether to take revenge on you or not to take revenge - this is your personal choice. Do what you want, do what is comfortable for you and do not think about someone else's opinion on this matter. Others can do what is convenient and how they need, and you do what is convenient for you. And if you want to take revenge on someone, then ask yourself just one question: why would you do this? Not why, but why? That is, do not look into the past - do not raise your grievances and do not use them as a motivation for revenge, you can get rid of them in other ways - look into the future and tell me what your revenge will give you? If you see benefit in it for yourself, take revenge. If not, you don't have to force yourself to do it.
How to take revenge?
If you have decided to take revenge on those who once harmed you, offended, insulted, humiliated you, then you need to understand how to do it right. You can take revenge on the offenders different ways depending on who harmed you. It is important to understand the main thing: revenge is a dish that should be served cold, as the Italian proverb says. The colder your mind is, the more seriously you will approach this matter and the more successful your revenge will be. Therefore, revenge should never be rushed. Time plays into your hands. The longer your offender goes unpunished, the more he will relax and lose his vigilance. And in the meantime, you will develop an impeccable plan for revenge, which you will then implement.
Revenge also requires a person to be flexible. If you act directly, you risk failure, the consequences of which may be such that you may even lose all opportunities for revenge. Therefore, you are looking for different opportunities to take revenge - the more there are, the better. Study your enemy, find his weaknesses, learn about what makes him strong - high position in society, reliable sources of income, connections with influential people, other. All these pillars can and will have to be shaken to weaken this man. It is especially important to find out what is the most valuable thing in life for your offender, the most expensive thing that he is afraid of losing - this is the target, hitting which you are guaranteed to cause him significant harm, which means you can take revenge. Usually, what is most valuable for a person in life is carefully hidden and protected, since this is his weakness. And you need to find this weakness and strike at it. It's like Koshchei's death, which is hidden in an egg - you will find an egg, you will be able to defeat Koshchei, that is, take revenge on your offender.
Your revenge does not have to be mirrored. Revenge in the way you can, and not in the way it would be conventionally right to take revenge. Asymmetric actions are often much more effective than a symmetrical retaliation, for which you simply may not have enough resources and opportunities. So for an eye, you can demand not only an eye, but not only a tooth for a tooth. You can also use your offender's enemies for your own purposes. To do this, you will need to identify them and then either enter into an alliance with them, according to the principle: the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or simply help them harm your offender in various ways, for example, by secretly or openly supplying them useful information about him. So you can take revenge with the wrong hands. Keep in mind that the higher a person's position in society, the more enemies he has. And the weakness of these enemies, as a rule, lies in their lack of cohesion. But if you help them combine their efforts, then they will be able to cope even with a very powerful person. In general, I want to note that revenge carried out by proxy is the best revenge. To pit your enemies against each other or to set someone against your offender to harm him, instead of harming him with your own hands, is to successfully avenge and remain clean at the same time. In general, there can be many options for revenge. Therefore, always look for exactly the option that will be most convenient for you. It doesn't matter how it looks - revenge does not have to be beautiful and conditionally fair - it must come true so that you forget about it.
Thus, friends, if you still decide to take revenge, then approach this matter creatively. Be sure to calm your emotions and turn on your head to do everything right and get the result you want. Use manipulation to make revenge covert and unexpected, as well as to use other people, including the enemies of your enemy, in this matter. I do not presume to judge whether it is right or not, to take revenge on other people is your own choice and you make it. But you must understand that the responsibility for this choice lies with you, and therefore it is you who will deal with the consequences of your decision. You can take revenge by doing everything possible for this, but at the same time worsen your life, losing something and losing something. Or you can experience deep and absolute satisfaction from your revenge. You need to be mentally prepared for both of these consequences.
Revenge is not simple theme, is not it? In fact, it is not as simple as the topic. These two unpleasant concepts (phenomena) are directly interconnected with each other. After all, revenge is almost always the result of resentment. If you recall one of the definitions of resentment, it sounds like this - "a - this is an unspoken obligation to take revenge." And almost always, if a person cannot cope with his resentment, he consciously or automatically realizes it through revenge.
Revenge can be different, from harmless pranks, to plant a button, to distort information, etc., to a vendetta, when, as a result of an unforgiven insult between two proud fools and an uncontrollable desire for revenge, warriors are unleashed and thousands of innocent people die. Revenge, like resentment, is a bad adviser, not a sage and not a friend. Revenge is a destroyer, and not infrequently very fast and ruthless, like a black tornado that destroys all life in its path. The fact that people building relationships could painstakingly create decades - friendship, respect, support and mutual assistance, great deeds, etc., revenge coupled with resentment, can be destroyed almost instantly.
What is revenge - definition and esoteric interpretation
Revenge- poorly controlled desire for excessive punishment to another. Revenge is an emotional program for the realization of resentment. Mistake- in violation of the laws of justice: the punishment should not exceed the offense inflicted, and if a person repents, then most often for the first time he should be forgiven.
Revenge, as well as resentment, is replaced by Adequacy (fair punishment, according to the Law, first of all, according to the highest Law).
In other words, if you ask me - is it possible to take revenge? I'll tell you - of course not! But, if you ask a question - is it necessary to punish someone who is wrong and has done evil? I will answer - of course it is necessary! Because it should never go unanswered, and the person who committed it should go unpunished.
The difference between revenge and punishment is as follows. revenge program- a selfish negative desire to cause reciprocal evil to another person, based on resentment, which in itself is already evil. Revenge is not proportional to how many negative emotions a person (charge) will have, so much he will take revenge.
Adequate Punishment Program- this is the restoration of Justice, its motive (ideally should be) is an educational action in relation to a person who has committed evil (so that he understands that evil will always have to be answered with reciprocal pain and draw the right conclusions) and the suppression of evil itself as a social phenomenon ( do not ignore or promote). That is, in this case, the motive of the punisher - positive and noble - to wean from Evil.
How to deal with the desire for revenge?
1. In order to cope with the desire to take revenge, you must first of all defeat the Resentment that drives you. How to deal with resentment - read. What is resentment - see. If you remove resentment, revenge will be extinguished and you will be able to think with your head and reason adequately.
2. And when you are adequate and emotions do not hit your head, you will be able to weigh all the options and make a decision - how to respond to the evil done: forgive and refer the situation to the Court of God or think over an adequate punishment, and answer with dignity and strength, so that the lesson was, both for a specific person (the offender), and for others (witnesses).
Actually, these are all recommendations, although no, there is one more very important one, I always remember it and always follow it. Its essence is as follows - never make responsible decisions in your life in a negative emotional state. Nothing good and healthy can come to your mind at this moment. Responsible decisions should always be taken only in the best and highest mood and state of peace. If you are sausage, or you are in the negative - put everything aside important decisions until better times. This will save you from fatal and irreparable mistakes, which those who made them, as a rule, regret all their lives.
Good luck to you and a positive wave, and may the hellish fire of revenge and the corrosive acid of resentment never touch your heart and your life!
/ / / What is revenge?
Revenge is an action that is caused by the desire to respond to an insult, insult or other harm. Human nature is like a bomb that is ready to explode, one has only to “light the fuse”. And it explodes just revenge. The desire to take revenge arises in different ways: for some - suddenly, instantly, for others - some time after the offense. They also prepare for revenge in different ways. Some people immediately give an answer, while others take a long time to plan actions, carefully consider it.
Nevertheless, no matter how the desire for revenge manifests itself, revenge remains one of the most terrible phenomena in human life. You can take revenge in different ways: insult in response, put a person in an awkward position, set him up. The most cruel, inhuman revenge is murder. Often the desire to give a "worthy" answer pushes to a crime. Often a desire to kill appears in a person if someone seriously offended or even took the life of one of his relatives.
Serious psychological upheavals caused by the loss of relatives, serious moral or moral trauma deprive a person of the opportunity to reason soberly. His mind seems to turn off, but his heart is instantly filled with anger and a thirst to answer the offender with the same, or even worse. And only having avenged, the person understands what he has done. Few people are proud of the perfect, because someone's blood remains on their hands, and there are stains of vile deeds on their conscience.
The question of what revenge is can be found in fiction. Quite a few writers have raised this issue to show what paying for an offense can lead to, how it affects the fate of those who take revenge.
The protagonist of the novel F.I. Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, a student kills an old pawnbroker. His cruel act is nothing but revenge. The guy lives very poorly, renting a small room under the roof with the last money. He receives letters from his mother telling him how the family is trying to make ends meet. In the city, the guy meets the Marmeladov family. He learns that the stepmother sent Sonya, Marmeladov's daughter, to the panel, since she did not think of another way to make money.
Raskolnikov is indignant at seeing such injustice around him. His indignation gradually develops into a thirst for revenge. The guy believes that such mercenary people as the old pawnbroker are to blame for everything. He is confident that her money will be able to help hundreds of young people. He has a desire to kill the old woman, which gradually increases. The hero does what he wants to do.
Soon a sober mind returns to the guy. By nature, kind, Raskolnikov sincerely repents of his deed. He feels alienated from society. Sonya, who understands the motives for his revenge, helps the hero find peace of mind.
Thus, revenge is a cruel response to any harm. The desire to take revenge seizes both the mind and the heart of a person. You need to be able to control yourself so as not to stain your hands and soul with vile deeds.
Do not rush to take revenge yourself. Look how beautiful life will make it.

Revenge. Be sure to voice this side of our lives. Oh, how often it occurs, and how many wonderful people stumbled on this matter.
Well, let's start with the energy component of this process.
If you have read the materials above, you can already easily determine what kind of force it is that makes a person take revenge. Naturally, this FEAR. See what forms this very fear can take, the most seemingly noble ones.
Most often, what formulations does the feeling of revenge take? FIGHT FOR JUSTICE and so on and so forth.
It would seem that the feelings are correct and there is nothing wrong with this matter. But what happens to a person when he begins to realize these "noble feelings".
It all starts with a powerful attack of indignation, a kind of internal explosion, when events occur that are unexpected, unplanned, unfair. That is, in a person, the mechanisms for isolating a huge amount of negativity are automatically turned on.
Well, I don’t like it, I didn’t expect it, it hurt the most sacred.
Okay, survived this state, if the heart and others internal organs survived. Often, however, it happens the other way around, this explosion leads to very deplorable events in the body.
Well, Validol saved, valerian and cognac got drunk. What's next? And then, if this force is not controlled, it continues their actions. And what does it mean? As a rule - in a great desire to produce as much as possible negative impact on the cause of events, usually the person who did it all. And the stronger and deeper the events, the stronger and more significant the desired punishment.
If you just stepped on your foot in the subway, we just want to scold, no more, and that will be enough. If more, he stole money, then let yourself spend five years in prison, sip gruel. Well, if it comes to causing damage to health or life, then the mechanism for the complete destruction of this object is automatically activated.
And if in the subway you can immediately solve this issue, overlaid it and went on (however, inside, as if the cats had gone to the toilet), then more serious matters require additional time, effort and various new participants.
And what is happening. A person does not live a normal life, he becomes a carrier, a vessel full of anger, and until the desired is fulfilled, this anger and hatred will continue its comfortable existence in the body and mind of a person.
One of the exact words that describes this human condition is the word GLOAT, this is when a person rejoices in this very evil.
Moreover, they heard the expression “sweet revenge”, oh, what a sweet feeling it is, and a person really experiences some feeling of “sweetness”.
Just the other day I was talking to a man, smart and educated, who, in all seriousness, said that this feeling of sweet revenge for him is much higher than the feeling of love. This is how the process can turn around, this man had his son's car hit to death a couple of years ago, and he devoted these years to the realization of revenge.
Literally before our eyes, a person turns into a blind weapon. He is no longer able to objectively look from the outside at himself, at his actions, at his surroundings. A kind of blinders have formed before his eyes, like those of horses, he sees a narrow corridor of necessary actions, besides this, he does not want anything else, and over the years, he is no longer able to see, that's all.
Here it is, a rather dramatic, but very revealing example of how a person becomes completely controlled by the negative camp. Just give them, they immediately create the necessary conditions for this.
This is all from the point of view of good and evil, and now let's look from the point of view of the Universal Laws.
First - - if your body and mind are full of negativity, then nothing but negativity you won't get in return, thereby creating a vicious circle for the occurrence of various kinds of negative deviations in the work of your body and your affairs.
It is very difficult to be near such a person, and gradually, all the people who were dear to you and close will simply forced to leave you. They want to live, and if only negative things stand out from you, then the process of rejection will automatically start.
There can be no talk of any development with such an attitude, only the destruction of what is, and the replacement of the lowest and most unnecessary.
Health, you understand, it will work for a certain time, but if the process drags on, then apart from negative changes, it is unlikely that anything can happen.
Second, you become impractical, from the point of view of the development of the world, you are the carrier of destructive energy. You will be needed for some time, but by negative forces, until your potential starts to run out. The very forces that were laid down for the growth and development of you as a Human.
- if your potential is great enough and you can do your job, take revenge in full, then further, if you do not want to stop and start putting yourself in order, and this will be very difficult to do, then you will be offered new business, where you can highlight the negative and engage in "restoration of justice", good sword always useful, and so on, until the potential runs out.
