Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

I want to be indifferent to vengeance. It's degrading. Not having a spirit of vengeance protects me, internally.
Just vengeance does not call for punishment.
Revenge is a caustic thing. I say, Breathe in, breathe deeply, let it go.
It is up to God to take revenge. Only God can judge. I don't have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody. Doing that is a weakness, anyway.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.
