Well, revenge in some cases is propper. think of it this way,

"We do wrong, or wrong someone."

And out of revenge we get a smack down in whatever form it maybe.

What is wrong with that? Negative reinforcement is the response for a negative action. We grow up with that very thing from the time we crawl.

A penalty for doing wrong.

We as children reach for a piece of candy in the store that does not belong and we get our hand slapped.

We drive wrecklessly or over the speed limit and we get pulled over and a ticket and fine and whatever other PENALTY is issued. Are they not forms of revenge, or negative reinforcement and do they not alter how we conduct ourselves in the future?

And if I will, I'll end this rant with a quote from Red Dawn

"All that hate will burn you up boy."

"Nah it keeps me warm."
