I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't believe in vengeance. Really, when all is said and done, I probably don't believe in punishment.
Vengeance is the act of turning anger in on yourself. On the surface it may be directed at someone else, but it is a surefire recipe for arresting emotional recovery.
Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.
I want to be indifferent to vengeance. It's degrading. Not having a spirit of vengeance protects me, internally.
I don't believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.
Just vengeance does not call for punishment.
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.
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.
Mercy is what moves us toward God, while justice makes us tremble in his sight.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
