Are you vengeful??

  • Yes that's true, but when saying such thing without explaining it, people can interpret it in a different way. That's why keaji had to encourage selfie to write this and explain it.

    But keaji wouldn't say that what selfie is explaining about is a revenge, but more so doing something or someone a justice, 'correcting the wrongs'.

    i think everybody's tolerance levels are different when i'm talking about the revenge vengence i'm thinking dantes levels of suffering not like i lent my friend 100 euros and she didn't return it to me lol


    i'm talking about deep seated fundamental issues that strike to the core of one's being levels of harm/suffering before that revenge instinct kicks in...

    I vaguely remember reading that book. It was a while ago, so I only know about the general plot. Now that I think about it, it reminds me a bit of Cowboy Bebop, as the anime also deals with themes of vengeance and being burdened by the past. Itaewon Class as well.


    I wouldn’t dedicate nearly as much of my life to seek revenge the way Dantés did because, in a sense, that would be letting the enemy win. In today’s world, it’s far better to save that energy for a greater cause and excel at it. That’s the best form of vengeance, if you can call it that, in my opinion.


    At the same time, it’s easy to say we would just move on, but if someone took away years of our lives the way Danglars and Mondego did to Dantés, we would probably want justice to be served for our own sense of closure. In real-life situations, this is why victims of abuse still fight for justice even years later. It’s not always a case of being spiteful; they genuinely struggle to move on knowing their abusers are still free, living well, and stuck in their harmful ways.

    I understand that and that's what I'm saying, it's impossible to know how we would feel if something that terrible would happened to us. But in such cases you have to think about how to make it right, not to make any more harm (when you can, at first you're obviously frustrated). Every situation is different and if someone is still causing harm, they need to be stopped of course.

    I'm just saying that if someone made you suffer to the core, when you're trying to seek justice, it's not necessary called vengance or revenge imo.


    vengance: to exact punishment or expiation for a wrong on behalf of, in a vindictive spirit, to inflict pain or harm for.

    Revenge is defined as the act of committing a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance, be it real or perceived.
